Notlar	This fearsome-looking cheetah is an example of Islamic animal bronzes made for use as incense burners, fountain fixtures, or pouring vessels (called aquamanilia). Trained cheetahs were favorite hunting animals in the Islamic world, especially at royal courts. This motif was emulated by the Christian kings of Sicily, who featured felines in the decoration of their palaces. Objects like this aquamanile also inspired artists in Germany and other parts of northern Europe, beginning in the 12th century.For the latest information about this object, aquamaniles, visit art.thewalters.org. \| Dynasty: \| Inscriptions: \| Reign: \| Style: Romanesque \| more \| less
