Description

This Ceramic Dish dates to the 10th–12th centuries and originates from the craft traditions of Mawarannahr. It was widely used in daily life and on special occasions or festivals. The fish motif depicted on the bowl is rendered in a simple and concise style, reflecting both aesthetic and symbolic significance. In particular, the image of the fish was interpreted in ancient cultures as a symbol of fertility, life, and purity. The glazed surface makes the bowl durable and resistant to external influences, suitable for long-term use. These artistic and technical solutions demonstrate the high skill and attention to detail of the craftsmen of the period.
