Jarro perfurado com harpas e esfinges

dated 612 AH/1215–16 CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 453
Com uma camada externa entalhada e perfurada que circunda um recipiente interno sólido, esta obra complexa de cerâmica imita um objeto de metal. A tampa aberta, decorada com harpias (mulheres-pássaros míticas), esfinges, quadrúpedes (mamíferos) e volutas, foi pintada com toques de preto e azul-cobalto. A seguir, o jarro inteiro foi coberto com uma camada de esmalte turquesa transparente. Os versos persas ao redor da borda são obras do poeta Rukn al-Din Qummi; um poema de amor anônimo na parte inferior do jarro indica a data em que foi feito.
