Copper alloy ewer with globular segmented body with incised and repoussé decoration, resting on a flat raised base. Cylindrical neck with clearly demarkated mouth terminating in an everted flat rim and a high spout. Curved strap handle with small knop. Narrow shoulder decorated by row of abstract motifs. The shift of emphasis to the melon or pumpkin-fluted body, is supremely counter-balanced by the high and remarkable spout. The decoration is perfectly suited to the shape and in tune with the artistic production of the mid 12th century, when a huge variety of decorative themes and typologies were adopted and followed, commissioned by the emerging strong bourgeoisie of northeastern Iran. Inscriptions occur on nearly every object and usually consist of anonymous wishes, though sometimes they might provide information about patrons, artists and dates of manufacture.
