Curated by
ACT
A rather deep dish decorated with a butter-colored glaze. This type was widespread in Iraq and Persia during the third and fourth centuries AH. The decorated portion of the dish is 25% of the surface area, while 75% is undecorated. Thus, dishes like this and similar objects, disprove the theory held by European Orientalists, who claimed that, "the Muslim artist is terrified by a void."
