EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of Persian art from the Ilkhanid period. The artwork, known as "Simurgh (Simorgh or Senmurw) - Azulejos - Faience de Kashan" dates back to the early 14th century and is currently housed in the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal. The image depicts a tile made of molded ceramic that has been beautifully adorned with lustre and underglaze painting techniques. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life an imaginary creature called Simurgh, which holds great significance in Persian mythology. Simurgh is a mythological bird-like creature that symbolizes wisdom, strength, and protection. It is often associated with healing powers and considered a guardian spirit. This depiction of Simurgh showcases its majestic presence with outstretched wings and intricate feather patterns. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork reflects the skillful techniques employed by Persian artisans during the Middle Ages. The use of azulejos (ceramic tiles) was prevalent in Persia at this time, showcasing their mastery over ceramics as an artistic medium. This print allows viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind this remarkable piece of art from ancient Persia. It serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Iran while offering us a glimpse into their mythical world.
