Cuenco con inscripción en árabe

Irán, Nishapur

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 450

Las inscripciones figuran de manera prominente en la decoración de objetos y edificios en todo el universo islámico, aunque cobran inigualada pureza y fuerza en el mundo islámico oriental, como caligrafía pero también como elemento decorativo. Este cuenco, notable por su gran tamaño y belleza formal, ostenta una muestra de decoración caligráfica. La inscripción, en elegante escritura cúfica, dice: PLANIFICA ANTES DE TRABAJAR PARA NO ARREPENTIRTE; PROSPERIDAD Y PAZ.
