Vase
Unknown10th century AD
Museo d'Arte Orientale
Torino, Italy
This small vase is an example of the elaborate production developed in the Eastern Iranian world. The vase has an elegant kufic character inscription – incomplete probably due to a restoration intervention – which bears, in its final part, a wish “In the name of God (for the) Blessing of its owner”.
