What the image shows

A black and white ceramic bowl with intricate floral patterns.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.

From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

Numerous bowls decorated with radiating bands filled with Persian inscriptions similar to this one have been linked by excavation to the Kashan workshops. Most examples are painted with blue or black under either a clear or turquoise-blue glaze. The dated examples of this type fall between CE 1204 and 1215. Iran, Asia
