This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Umayyad period, dating back to 998-999 AD. The lid of a container, intricately decorated with four huntsmen and animals, is the focal point of this image. Crafted in ivory by the Spanish School during the 10th century, this piece now resides in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The lid bears an inscription that reveals its patron as Abu l-Mutarrif, son of the grand vizier to the Umayyad Caliph of Spain. This historical detail adds depth and significance to an already stunning work of art. The carving on this cylindrical vessel depicts a hunting scene with great precision and stylized elegance.
