拍品描述 翻译
A COPPER ALLOY MUGHAL-STYLE DRAGON-SPOUTED EWER Qajar Iran, 19th century? Of typical drop shape, flattened on the sides, resting on an oval splayed foot, rising to a tapering neck, interrupted by a protruding disc, the spout with a Persian dragon-shaped end, the curved handle to the side also imitating stylised Persian dragon handles, the domed lid flattened on the sides as well and topped by a floral bud finial, the body a real triumph of incised and engraved figural decoration, the two central chased drop-shaped medallions depicting King Solomon, his face covered and around his head a flaming halo, in the first medallion seated on a throne in front of creatures from all realms, in the latter?supervising the construction of a brick building, the rest of the body without a single inch deprived of decorative elements, several oval medallions filled with the Kings of the Past, mythical creatures, demons, characters from the epics, mythical legends and religious parables, the lid and spout with fighting animals, riders, and more figures, the handle with arabesque motifs and at the bottom two acrobats mirroring each other, the foot with a grid of palmettes and a band of split palmettes at the bottom, 38.7cm high. The work that has gone into the decorative programme of this ewer is simply extraordinary. Every inch of this ewer is engraved with utmost precision and exquisite creative skill, to the point of almost reminiscing the European?horror vacui?style. This ewer, which would have originally come with its basin, must have been a very special commission at the time of its making in 19th-century Qajar Iran. The decorative programme is an ambitious one and its vocabulary very learned, involving characters from religious texts, mythical legends and local epics, which yet again suggests a special private commission. Its shape, truly Mughal in style; the use of a Persian dragon-shaped spout; and last but not least, the central figural decoration with two scenes from the King Solomon's life imbue this ewer with an incredible multi-cultural and inter-religious flare.? King Solomon,?son of David and reputedly the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem, appears in all the texts of the three major monotheistic religions (Hebrew Bible, Old Testament, Qur'an and Hadiths), as a powerful and wise king. In particular, in the Islamic belief, he's often mentioned as one of the Prophet-Kings. The scenes portrayed here are stylistically attributed to the Islamic narrative, as evident in a tray with a similar illustration in the Louvre exhibition catalogue, L'Etrange et le Merveilleux en Terres d'Islam, Paris, 2001, fig. 181. In one medallion, the Prophet-King is shown on a throne?lifted up by?divs?and?jinns?(demons), surrounded by the creatures of all realms such as birds, men from the highest to the lowest rank, and all animals. In the latter, the Builder King supervises the construction of a brick, Qajar-looking palace, with typically Iranian arches, inhabited by several women on all floors, in front of him?jinns?on the left and men on the right, builders and slaves below them, in a very encompassing composition, similar to the previous one. The message contained in the decorative programme of these figural illustrations seems rather evident: King Solomon is a true King of the world and of all people. As a wise Prophet he inspires and instructs the creatures of all realms and acts as mediator between the divine and terrestrial spheres; and as a King, with his divine right to rule, he ensures the accomplishment of the right way of living, in tune with the cosmic laws and order.Notes: Islamic & Indian Art
