EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable beaker from the Saljuq Period in Kashan, Iran. Created by the Persian School in the late 12th century, this stone-paste painted under glaze and over glaze with enamel masterpiece measures 12x11.2x11.2 cm and is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. What sets this beaker apart is its unique depiction of a complete narrative cycle from the Shahnama, also known as the Persian Book of Kings. This makes it an exceptional piece within Islamic art history. The intricate design features small yet highly detailed images organized in horizontal bands that recount the adventures of Bizhan and Manizha. The story begins with Firdawsi's beloved tale-telling before delving into various episodes involving these legendary characters. The climax unfolds in the lower register where Rustam comes to Bizhan's rescue from a pit where he has been imprisoned by Afrasiyab, Manizha's villainous father. It is worth noting that this pictorial cycle predates any other depictions of their romance by approximately one hundred years. With its historical significance and exquisite craftsmanship, this beaker stands as a testament to both artistic mastery and storytelling prowess during ancient times. Its acquisition through Charles Lang Freer Endowment further solidifies its importance within Iranian cultural heritage.
