Engraved Seljuk Copper Alloy Ewer - LO.879, Origin: Central Asia, Circa: 11 th Century AD to 12 th Century AD, Dimensions: 9.5" (24.1cm) high, Collection: Islamic Art, Style: Seljuk, Medium: Quarternary Bronze. The animated well spaced and perfectly suited decoration is in tune with the artistic production of the mid 12th century, when a huge variety of decorative themes and typologies were spurred, commissioned by the emerging strong bourgeoisie in northeastern Iran. Inscriptions occur on nearly every object and usually consist of anonymous wishes, though sometimes they might provide information about patrons, makers and dates of manufacture.
