Schale mit arabischer Inschrift

10th century
Not on view
Inschriften sind in der Geschichte der islamischen Kunst als Verzierung von Objekten und Gebäuden weit verbreitet. Auf Schalen wie dieser allerdings, die in der östlichen islamischen Welt angefertigt wurden, wurden sie in unerreichter Reinheit und Kraft als Kalligraphie und zur Erhöhung des Objekts verwendet. Diese Schale ist ein ungewöhnlich großes und besonders schönes Beispiel seiner Art. Die Inschrift in eleganter kufischer Schrift lautet: PLANUNG VOR DER ARBEIT SCHÜTZT DICH VOR KUMMER; WOHLSTAND UND FRIEDEN.
