Piatto con iscrizione in arabo

10th century
Not on view
Nella storia dell’arte islamica le iscrizioni sono ampiamente utilizzate per decorare oggetti ed edifici. Ma è soprattutto in piatti come questo, fabbricati nel mondo islamico orientale, che calligrafia e ricchezza di decorazione vennero utilizzate con una purezza e forza ineguagliabili. Questo piatto di inusuale grandezza ne è un esempio di eccezionale bellezza. L’ iscrizione, negli eleganti caratteri cufici, recita: PIANIFICARE PRIMA DI FARE UN LAVORO TI PROTEGGE DAL RIMPIANTO; PROSPERITÀ E PACE.
