Notlar
The decoration on this bowl shows a young prince surrounded by companions. They play the lute, drink wine and sing or declaim poetry. In many Islamic societies, scenes containing humans and animals were a common type of decoration in non-religious contexts. The source of this imagery was usually poetry, the most highly esteemed form of secular literature.

Tarihsel bağlam
The general repertory of mina'i 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. Mina'i tilework exists from the Seljuk palace of Kaykubad in Konya, Turkey as well as from Iran (Grube, 1976).
