ملاحظات
This beautiful decorative bowl features two mounted figures on either side of a golden tree. Below them are peacocks. Around the inside of the bowl are four pairs of seated figures, separated by arabesque motifs, in poses that suggest they are having a conversation. The bowl has been decorated with enamel colours and gold painted over the glaze. The technique emerged in Iran in the 12th century. It was a revolutionary development in ceramic decoration that enabled potters to paint with more detail than ever before. The result was a whole genre of wares decorated with depictions of various human activities. There were scenes of people seated at court, hunting, playing polo, and even fighting in battles.

Tarihsel bağlam
The general repertory of mina'i ware seems to reflect the iconography of the princely life; the entertainments of the court, hunting, polo and warfare. Many are also inscribed with poetry but so far little is known about the patrons of such wares nor the context in which they were used. Minai tilework also exists mosly from the Seljuk palace complex at Konya but some pieces have been recovered from Iran (Grube, 1976).
