Bamiyan Ceramic Bowl - JB.1308, Origin: Central Asia, Circa: 12 th Century AD to 13 th Century AD, Dimensions: 3.5" (8.9cm) high x 6.2" (15.7cm) wide, Collection: Islamic, Style: Bamiyan Sgraffiato, Medium: Earthenware, Condition: Extra Fine. The incised wares of Eastern Ancient Iran (present day Afghanistan) have only emerged in fairly recent archeological publications. They represent a very widespread and diverse manufacture. Significant quantities have survived in very good condition, like the associated fritwares. This dish resembles those first reported from the site of Bamiyan (see Gardin, 1957; especially pls 2-3). Its decoration derives from metalwork.
