Fragment. Dimensions: L 8 x W 3 x H 1.5. Date: probably 8th-12th century. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Fragment. Dimensions: 3.5 x 1.5 x 2. Date: probably 8th-12th century. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Stucco Fragment probably 8th-12th century This object was excavated at Nishapur.Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred to by the term Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur - from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments.Stucco Fragment probably 8th-12th century.
