A Kashan pottery model Seljuk
A Kashan pottery model Seljuk
Iran, 12th-13th century
Lantern or model with four mihrab niches, one on each side, in moulded fritware and covered with turquoise glaze. Rectangular in shape, resting on four feet, the edges emphasised by a ¿torchon¿ element and a roof with a central hole. Among Kashan's production from this period are artefacts commonly referred to as 'model houses', a peculiar serial production, similar to the object presented here, depicting houses without roofs that allow us to appreciate the subdivision of spaces and sometimes even tables set with caterers.
