Description
Near East, Early Islamic, possibly Nishapur, ca. 800 CE. This is a large jug with a handle and swirling, geometric black on white artwork. Brilliant blue shell fragments embedded in the handle, as well as carved details. A jug of this size would most likely have been used for carrying water. Nishapur was located along the Silk Road and had a cosmopolitan character at this time period; the new Islamic religion and its corresponding artwork met Mediterranean and Chinese styles. Size: 17"H and 14" at its widest point.
