Ca. 17th-19th century AD. A circular plate with recessed obverse entirely covered with a mesmerizing and intricate decoration of calligraphic script and arabesque patterns set against a beautifully polished background. The attention to detail in this piece is truly remarkable, with every line and curve carefully and skillfully crafted by the hands of its maker. The use of calligraphy in Islamic art is significant and deeply rooted in the Islamic faith, as calligraphy is one of the highest art forms in Islam. Islamic calligraphy is renowned for its intricate designs, which are often used to adorn everything from the walls of mosques to everyday objects. The use of calligraphy in Islamic art is rooted in the belief that the written word is sacred, and that the beauty of the script itself can inspire a deeper sense of spirituality in those who contemplate it.Size: L:198mm / W:198mm ; 160gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly in a collection of A. Kotlar, since the 1970s.
