ملاحظات
This bottle is an example of the more sophisticated cut-glass vessels produced in Iraq and Iran after AD 800. As here, glassmakers ground or cut away the thick glass walls to create decoration in bold relief. Designs like the stylised plants and animals on this bottle were often inspired by Sasanian models. When Iran was ruled by the Sasanian dynasty (about AD 224 to 631) the techniques used to cut precious and semi-precious stones were also used on glass.
