Lusterware Plate with Bird Motif |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Decorative lusterware was popular during the Fatimid Period (910-1171). The most important production place was in the cultural center of al-Fustad near the Fatimid capital al-Qahira (Cairo). This plate displays a typical motif of this time period: a bird in a central roundel with leaves and branches and a broad frame with leaf arabesques. Especially attractive are the variation of forms of the leaves and spiral-tendrils, which modify the rhytmic pattern, and the yellow-golden color of the painting. |
