拍品專文

A number of Kashan 'silhouette ware' bowls are known decorated with palmettes, but almost all are based on a symmetrical arrangement, usually with four radiating palmettes (Arthur Upham Pope, A Survey of Persian Art, Oxford, 1938, pls.743B and 748B). The completely unidirectional arrangement found here is very unusual and powerful.
