Bol à inscription arabique

10th century
Not on view
Les inscriptions contribueront largement à la décoration des objets et des édifices pendant toute l’histoire de l’art de l’Islam. C’est toutefois sur la vaisselle fabriquée dans l’est du monde islamique, comme sur ce bol, qu’elles ont été employées dans leur forme la plus pure et la plus évocatrice, tant sur le plan calligraphique que décoratif. Ce bol, très bel exemple du genre, est de dimensions peu communes. L’inscription en caractères coufiques d’une grande élégance signifie : « Prévoir avant d’entreprendre protège des regrets. Prospérité et paix. »
