Jarro calado con arpías y esfinges

dated 612 AH/1215–16 CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 453
Una pared exterior tallada y perforada rodea una pared interior sólida en esta obra maestra de la alfarería, que pretendía imitar un jarro de metal. La cubierta calada, decorada con arpías (mujeres-pájaro míticas), esfinges, cuadrúpedos (mamíferos de cuatro patas) y volutas, se pintó con toques de negro y azul cobalto. A continuación, todo el jarro se recubrió con una capa de esmalte turquesa transparente. Los versos persas alrededor del borde son obra del poeta Rukn al-Din Qummi; un poema amoroso anónimo en la parte inferior del jarro indica la fecha de producción.
