Three-color Luster Bowl with Stylized Tree
Abbasid artists experimented in figural and geometric ornament in a number of media, including woodwork, glass, stucco, and ceramics. This bowl shows the artist’s interest in the complexities of abstraction and rhythmic patterning. The motifs here include wings, a tree-like central divide, and floral elements, all set against a white background that makes it possible for the eye to read the patterns more easily
