Lot 0335: ANCIENT 11TH C PERSIAN SILVER MIRROR W ENGRAVING

41 reviews

An ancient 11th century Persian silver mirror, featuring intricate metalwork on its reverse side. The round metal surface is adorned with a detailed engraving depicting a pair of stylized animals, possibly lions, facing each other. These figures are intertwined with elaborate arabesque patterns, typical of Persian art from this period. The outer rim of the mirror is decorated with a repeating geometric motif, likely a series of interlocking circles forming a rosette sun like pattern, adding to the overall complexity and beauty of the piece. The metal has developed a patina with shades of green and brown, indicating its age. The mirror is pierced at the top, possibly for hanging. This mirror is not just a functional object but also a work of art, reflecting the sophisticated craftsmanship of the time. Weight 112 grams.
