Sasanian This bowl made of a reddish buff ware has a Mandaic inscription painted in black in concentric circles in its inside. It was excavated in the Bath of the Palace of the Taq-i Kisra in the Ctesiphon area. The city of Ctesiphon was located on the east bank of the Tigris River, 20 miles (32 km) south of modern Baghdad in Iraq. It flourished for more than 800 years as the capital of the Parthians and the Sasanians, the last two dynasties to rule the ancient Near East before the Islamic conquest in the seventh century. Systematic excavations in the Ctesiphon area were undertaken by an expedition in 1928-29 sponsored by the German Oriental Society (Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft). The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, undertook a joint expedition for one season in 1931-32.

Fritware, underglaze-paintedLobed omphalos bowl ca. 6th-5th century B.C. Achaemenid This bronze bowl has a carinated, or ridged, shoulder and a turned-out rim. In the center of the bowl is a raised boss, usually referred to by the Greek term omphalos, surrounded by eleven lobes. The vessel was made by raising and sinking a single sheet of metal, and then adding chased details, a method that was employed for most Achaemenid metalware.The form is this bowl is known as the Achaemenid bowl’ because it is depicted in the reliefs on the Apadana at Persepolis, the capital of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. In those reliefs the bowl is carried by delegations from across the empire. This has led scholars to suggest that the Achaemenid bowl was a marker of imperial unity, rather than being associated with any one region of the empire. Indeed, Achaemenid bowls have been found across the empire - in Persian itself, Lydia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and even in Gandhara in the east - made of a variety of materials, including golside view of open ceramic pot isolated on white side view of open ceramic pot from black unglazed clay isolated on white background Copyright: xZoonar.com/ValeryxVoennyyx 8879801Plemochoe 5th century B.C.

Besides its historical importance, this plate stands out for its fine engraving with which the artist, who signed his work "the humble Tatar," executed the decorative repertoire, including epigraphic and vegetal cartouches and bands filled with scrolling and interlacing split-palmettes.. Mamluk Plate. ca. 1412-21. Tinned copper; raised, hammered, and engraved. Made in Egypt. MetalBottle (Florero) 1st-5th century Teotihuacan The clean lines of this ceramic vessel are representative of the refined and abstract aesthetic that dominated the art style at Teotihuacan. This vessel type, called florero, is notable for its elegant long neck and widely flared rim. Although the design may have originated elsewhere, the people of Teotihuacan produced floreros from the first century A.D. until the city collapsed around 750 A.D. The smooth, glossy surface of this bottle is the result of a ceramic technique called burnishing. To burnish a ceramic vessel, a hard stone is rubbed along the unfired clay surface in order to align the tiny particles that form the "skin" of the clay body. When these particles line up, the result is the shiny surface apparent here.. Bottle (Florero) 312161Bowl (Wan) with Stripes. China, Hebei Province, Ci County,Guantai kilns, Yuan dynasty, 1279-1368.

Moche flared bowls were produced from the fourth century A.D. They became taller over time, with smaller bases and wider, more everted rims. Complex decoration is almost invariably painted inside the rim, while the exterior of the vessel shows simpler designs. This flared bowl is decorated with a net motif on the exterior and with interlocking zigzag lines with triangles on the interior. The geometric decoration, as well as the notched rim with step patterns, indicate that it was produced during the Late Moche period (600-800). Similar vessels were found at the site of Galindo, on the north coast of Peru, occupied by Moche people from the sixth century A.D.. Pedestal Bowl 308407Ribbed mosaic glass bowl.

Third Intermediate Period or later Made of faience glazed a rich turquoise, this goblet takes the shape of the fragrant blue lotus. Reconstructed from eight fragments, it would originally have stood on a slender column imitating the flower's stalk. (For a complete example, see 13.182.53.) This type of chalice, which is seen first in the New Kingdom, appears to have been used primarily as a cult vessel.Both the shape and the imagery of this chalice are closely linked with the themes of creation and rejuvenation. As the lotus blossom closes at night and opens at dawn to greet the rising sun, it became associated with the daily cycle of death and rebirth. The relief decoration is set in the marshes where the lotus bloomed, echoing the watery landscape of creation. The principal scene, repeated three times around the cup's circumference, shows a youthful king in the blue crown and festal collar seated on a throne, evoking myths of the king rPorringer, 18th century, 7 3/4 x 5 1/2 x 2 in.
