The pattern on this bowl is based on the Chinese motif of a flying phoenix shown against flowering lotuses. This motif was used in a variety of materials, including textiles and lacquer. The white circle framing the bird resembles the plain mouldings found in metalwork, and a bowl of gold or silver was probably the original inspiration for this piece. The invasions of Iran by pagan Mongols under Genghis Khan (ruled 1206â1227) brought devastation and disruption, especially in the east. However, they were followed by a period of increasing prosperity. The unification of much of Asia under Mongol rule caused a boom in international trade and the cross-cultural influences seen in this bowl.
