Silhouette-wares mark the transition between the production of clay- bodied ceramics and the development of the underglaze painting technique in Persia. Stylistically the decoration of the group relates to the lustrewares produced at Kashan during the monumental period in the last three decades of the 12th century. The decoration to the present lot is comparable to that on a vase in the Al-Sabah Collection at the Kuwait National Museum (Oliver Watson, Ceramics From Islamic Lands, London, 2004, p. 334, Cat.N.1). Both vases take inspiration from Garrus earthenwares, where the slip is removed entirely from the background of the image in order to leave the principal motifs in relief on a lighter background. The depiction of the quadrupeds is reminiscent of that on Fatimid pottery, the quality of the drawing being far finer than that on Garrus wares or any other vessels produced in the incised technique in Persia.

This lot is accompanied by a Thermoluminescence Test (CIRAM 0116-OA-14R, dated 26/1/2016).

This dish is remarkable for the scale of the blazon on the underside, which takes up the entire foot-ring space. It resembles a blazon 82 which was popular during the late Burji period and was known to have been used by numerous emirs. Made up of three different parts it incorporated the arms of the jamdar or Master-of Robes, the arms of the saqi or Cupbearer and the arms of the dawadar or Secretary all flanked by what have been identified as powder horns. Its first usage can be traced back to Sultan Qaytbay (r. 1468-96) and it was employed up to 1517 as what can be seen as a Mamluk State blazon.

The blazon on the present lot can be seen on a number of known sgraffiato pottery fragments: an example in the Islamic Museum, Cairo (La Ceramique Egyptienne de l'epoque musulmane, Basel, 1922, pl. 142); the al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait (Oliver Watson, Ceramics from Islamic Lands, London, 2004, pp. 413-14, LNS 964 C a); the Keir Collection (Ernst J.

An interesting and unusual feature of this tile is the method by which some areas of the black outline were executed. Whilst the majority of outline was painted under the glaze, as is typical with Iznik pottery, some areas appear to have been painted on top of the glaze before it was fired. This technique relates to the application of black outline on cuerda seca pottery and is particularly visible in the heavy outline of the border palmettes.

Its invention was claimed by the 160. Judaeo-Provencal mathematician, astronomer and zoologist, Jacob bin Mahir Ibn Tibbun (Prophatius Judaeus, 1236-1304). Such quadrants became popular in the Ottoman Empire, partly because they were simpler and cheaper to make, where their manufacture continued with little change until the beginning of the last century. It was also widely used as a means for the muvakkit to determine the times of prayer.

Mas'ud Mirza Zill al-Sultan (1850-1918) was the son of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, but was barred from the succession (which would be inherited by his brother, Muzaffar al-Din) because his mother was a commoner. He held the post of governor in various provinces of Persia, including Isfahan, where he was renowned for his cruelty and for the destruction of the extant Safavid palaces. He was given the title Yamin al-Dawla Zill al-Sultan in 1869. His powers were later restricted to Isfahan, where he ruled until 1906, when he was forced to resign and left for Europe. Towards the end of his life, he returned to Isfahan, and died there. For further information, see M. Bamdad, Dictionary of National Biography of Iran, 1700-1900, vol. 4, Tehran, 1966, pp. 78- 100.

Provenance Harry Geoffrey Beasley (1881-1939) and thence by descent.

Harry Geoffrey Beasley was a wealthy brewery owner whose private collecting passion began when, aged 13, he bought two Solomon Island clubs. In 1914 he was elected to the Royal Anthropological Institute with which he maintained an association until 1937. He and his wife, Irene, established the Cranmore Ethnographic Museum in Chislehurst, Kent where they had moved in 1928, compiling the Cranmore Index of Pacific Material Culture based on James Edge- Partington’s Index for the British Museum and forming a considerable library. Although the Beasleys collected artefacts worldwide – including Africa (particularly Benin), North-west America and Asia - their main focus was the Pacific. Objects were acquired from dealers, missionaries and from, or in exchanges with, various museums. Beasley’s comprehensive monograph on Oceanic fish-hooks was published in 1928. The Cranmore Museum was damaged by bombing in World War 2 and in accordance with Beasley’s will his widow, Irene M Beasley (q.v), offered the first selection of the collection (apart from a limited reservation for herself) as a donation to the British Museum. The gift of several thousand items became fully effective in 1944. Other named beneficiaries include the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford; The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge; and National Museums, Scotland.

The use of footprints to symbolise a deity has been an ancient practice in Buddhist, Jain and Hindu art and goes as far back as the 2nd century B.C. Of all the footprint symbols, Hindus consider the Vishnupada to be the most sacred. Vishnupada pendants commonly found include some or all of the symbols associated with Vishnu on the sole - the sun, bow, lotus, conch, swastika, moon, banner and mace. Vishnupada amulets are often found enamelled on gold and silver. Those on gold were, and still are, made in Jaipur and 262 Nathadwara in Rajasthan. In Nathadwara they were often purchased by pilgrims visiting the local temple of Shri Nathji as commemoratives of their pilgrimage (see Oppi Untracht, Traditional Jewelry of India, London, 1997, pp. 106-7).

The manga malai (mango garland) is unique to South India. It is traditionally worn for special occasions such as weddings and was also worn by devadasis or temple dancers. The forms of the manga malai are derived from nature. The mango, in Indian mythology, symbolises love. The manga malai has its origins in the Chola period and even earlier, with bronze and stone sculptures adorned with multiple necklaces of similar design. For two comparable illustrations, see U. Balakrishnan, Indian Jewellery - Dance of the Peacock, ill. 229 & 230, pp. 158 – 159.

The term kavacham literally means 'shield'. These silver kavacham would have provided a rich covering for the stone or bronze images of the deities. The kavacham is usually fashioned in the naturalistic form of the body to give the impression of the deities either seated or standing in various postures. Intricately worked in relief, minute details of clothing and jewellery on the kavacham provide a valuable insight into contemporary fashions. Once the kavacham had been fitted onto the image of the deity, they would have been decorated with flowers and jewels and then carried around in procession around the temple. For a comparable pair of kavacham made from sheet gold, dating from the 19th century, now in the Musee Barbier-Mueller in Geneva (inv.no.2504-127 A&B), see U.R. Balakrishnan, M.S.

The manuscript from which the painting derives is dated AH 1025/AD 1616, and was commissioned by 'Abd al-Rahim Khan, minister under the Emperor Akbar, who had commissioned the original translation of the Hindu poem in 1582. Many of the other known leaves are signed by the artist Fazl, who was a favourite of 'Abd al-Rahim Khan and whose work is found in other manuscripts of Akbar's period. For examples of other leaves from this dispersed manuscript, see S. C. Welch, The Art of Mughal India, New York 1963, no. 33; ibid., Indian Miniature Painting from the Collection of Edwin Binney III, Portland 1974, pp. 60-61, no. 35; Indian Miniatures, London 1960, pl. 24; and the discussion in J.

The Imperial dictionary, Farhang-i Jahangiri, was written by Jamal al- Din Inju and is usually dated to 1608-9 or shortly afterwards. However, the first time that a copy is mentioned as being presented to Jahangir is in 1623. According to Linda Leach, 'Jamal al-Din was a Sayyid from Shiraz who first served in the Deccan on arrival in India. He then travelled to Akbar's court and in 1597 the emperor became the patron of Inju's dictionary.' Leach adds that in 1623, on the anniversary of Jahangir's accession, the old scholar (he died in 1626) made the formal presentation which is recorded in the emperor's memoirs. Elaine Wright argues that from a stylistic point of view, the earlier date of 1608-9 seems more likely. Fifty leaves survive: the largest single group is the twenty-seven in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, of which fifteen are intact (the remainder have paintings pasted over the text).

The borders of the current leaves are typical: as Elaine Wright observes, facing folios would have had matching colours in the inner borders, and the outer borders would have had similar but not identical features: as well as the animals seen here, the borders also featured human figures, both Indian and European, reading, writing, playing musical instruments, and mythical creatures.

This interesting ragamala subject bears evidence of a style connected to Mughal artists but executed for Hindu patrons outside the Mughal court in Rajasthan. The nagari inscription on the outer border adds to this theory and the series was probably painted in the south of Rajasthan, perhaps at Mewar.

The text is as follows: Arthanashmanirvana/ virodhavyadhisambhava/ shokasantayahaanishva/ tularupamvinirdishotu/ 33/ neshta/ gaon 4' (keemat 9). 'Destruction and negative events possible, grief and danger to offspring, [all these] a pair of scales indicate/ 33/ an undesirable omen ([in a different hand] value 9)'.

According to Andrew Topsfield, this Sakunavali series was a unique commission in Udaipur. It consisted of almost a hundred pages, graded in progressive categories from evil (asubham; e.g. a burgled house or families of dogs and monkeys) and undesirable (neshta; e.g. a poor man), to good (subham; e.g. cows in a byre), excellent (srestha; e.g. a yogi in a hermitage or a king enthroned) and the best of all (uttaram; e.g. winged gaja-simhas or a pride of lions). 291 Most subjects of this series are drawn from everyday experiences and rendered with an unaffected directness of experience. Irrespective of connotations of loss, ill health or bad fortune, bad omens are realized as sensitively as the good ones. (Court Painting at Udaipur, Zurich, 2001, p. 144.)

Guler was administered by the Sikhs from 1813 until 1849 and the second Sikh war, when it became part of the British district of Kangra.

The nastaliq inscription reads: khraj surminin uquf pushkir dip golsabun dhat suture ast va puta rudha ji ast

The elephant depicted in the painting could be a reference to the story of the birth of Ganesha. Shiva's consort, Parvati, is said to have created a child on her own, using turmeric paste, to guard her while she bathed. When access was denied to Shiva himself, an enraged Shiva beheaded the stubborn child. Faced with an inconsolable Parvati, Shiva sent his attendants to bring back the head of the first living being they encountered. They brought back an elephant. The elephant's head was placed on the child to restore him back to life.
