Panel fragment with the god Shiva/Oesho
ca. 3rd century A.D.
Object Details
Title: Panel fragment with the god Shiva/Oesho
Period: Kushan
Date: ca. 3rd century A.D.
Geography: Bactria
Culture: Kushan
Medium: Terracotta, gouache
Dimensions: H. 57.2 cm, W. 41.6 cm, D. 5.7 cm
Classification: Ceramics-Paintings
Credit Line: Gift of Isao Kurita, 2000
Accession Number: 2000.42.4
This rare Central Asian votive panel depicts a deity (with nimbus) being approached by a worshiper, probably nonroyal but portrayed as of equal stature to the god. Compositionally, they follow scenes of homage and investiture from the post-Hellenistic West and from Iran in which a king and a god appear side by side. Along with the hands of a missing worshiper, the god Siva/Oesho is depicted. Four-armed and three-headed, with a prominent third eye, he wears an animal skin and a belted, diaphanous garment and holds a trident. Here, the rich intercultural style that developed in the Kushan realm is most clearly displayed: Indian divine iconography; the Iranian type of two-figured composition; and Greco-Roman naturalism in the drapery and pose, as well as in the use of light and shadow to suggest modeling. The panel has holes at the corners and was probably set up, together with three others acquired by the Museum (MMA 2000.42.1, .2, .3), on the interior walls of a sanctuary, perhaps a family shrine.

Enameled and Gilded Bottle
late 13th century
Object Details
Title: Enameled and Gilded Bottle
Date: late 13th century
Geography: Attributed to Egypt, possibly Cairo
Medium: Glass, greenish; blown, folded foot; enameled and gilded
Dimensions: H. 17 1/8 in. (43.5 cm)
Max. Diam. 11 in. (27.9 cm)
Classification: Glass
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1941
Accession Number: 41.150
The size and delicate decoration of this bottle are remarkable; few such large or painterly examples of enameled glass are known. The polychrome phoenix on the neck soars above the central scene of mounted warriors wielding maces, swords, and bows. The warriors might well be participants in a horsemanship exercise, outfitted as combatants from the rival Ilkhanid and Mamluk states.

Damascus Room
dated A.H. 1119/A.D. 1707
Object Details
Title: Damascus Room
Date: dated A.H. 1119/A.D. 1707
Geography: From Syria, Damascus
Medium: Wood (poplar) with gesso relief, gold and tin leaf, glazes and paint; wood (cypress, poplar, and mulberry), mother-of-pearl, marble and other stones, stucco with glass, plaster ceramic tiles, iron, brass
Dimensions: H. 22 ft. 1/2 in. x 16 ft. 8 1/2 in. (671.6 x 509.2 cm), D. from inside front entrance to back wall 26 ft. 4 3/4 in. (804.2 cm)
Classification: Wood
Credit Line: Gift of The Hagop Kevorkian Fund, 1970
Accession Number: 1970.170
The Damascus Room is a residential winter reception chamber (qa'a) typical of the late Ottoman period in Damascus, Syria. Among the earliest extant, nearly complete interiors of its kind, the room’s large scale and refined decoration suggest that it was part of the house of an important, affluent family. Poetry inscribed on its walls indicates that the patron was Muslim and possibly a member of the religious elite who claimed descent from the Prophet Muhammad.
The Damascus Room, like most winter reception rooms (qa'as) of its time, is divided into two areas: a raised, square seating area (tazar) and a small antechamber ('ataba) entered through a doorway from a courtyard. The opening from which visitors view the room today would originally have been a wall with a cupboard. (The cupboard doors are now mounted in the passageway leading to the room.)
Wealthy Damascene homeowners periodically refurbished reception rooms in accordance with shifting trends and tastes in interior decoration. Therefore, houses in the old city of Damascus as well as their interiors rarely date to a single building phase. Although the inscription dates most of the woodwork elements in the room to A.D. 1707, alterations were made to the room in the subsequent three centuries.
The woodwork’s relief decoration is made of gesso covered with gold leaf, tin leaf with tinted glazes, and bright egg tempera paint. Known as 'ajami, this characteristic Ottoman-Syrian technique and style creates a rich texture with varied surfaces that are responsive to changes in light.
The palette of the 'ajami decoration was originally much more colorful and more varied than it appears today. Periodically the surfaces were coated with a layer of varnish as a form of maintenance. Over time, subsequent coats of varnish have darkened, muting the colorful surfaces in the Damascus Room.
The Damascus Room is decorated with forty stanzas of poetry.

Seascape with Three Boats
20th century
Object Details
Artist: Sadequain (Pakistani [born India], Amroha 1930–1987 Karachi)
Title: Seascape with Three Boats
Date: 20th century
Geography: Made in Pakistan
Medium: Oil on wood
Dimensions: Painting:
H. 22 1/2 in. (57.2 cm)
W. 32 in. (81.3 cm)
With Frame:
H. 30 1/2 in. (77.5 cm)
W. 39 3/4 in. (101 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Gift of the Government of Pakistan, 1980
Accession Number: 2016.12
This calligraphic painting represents just one aspect of the Pakistani artist Sadequain's oeuvre. He was from a family of scribes and had trained in calligraphy in his youth, but started his career with oil paintings and murals. His works depicting Cubist-like figures, seascapes, and landscapes, which often tackled moral and political issues, gained him local fame and state patronage in the 1950s. In 1961, he won recognition at the Paris Biennal and throughout the decade exhibited in the United States and Europe. But calligraphy remained an interest and he came to focus on this genre during the 1970s, when many modern artists of the Islamic world were returning to this traditional form of art.
In this painting, Sadequain has arranged the inscription on a series of boats which, in the Qur'an, often symbolize safety and security. The inscription reads: "In the name of the memorable Qur'an. In the name of the glorious Qur'an. In the name of the pen [and anything it writes]." The letters in the front of each boat, sad, qaf, and nun, may refer to the appearance of individual letters at the beginning of some suras of the Qur'an, and playfully, perhaps, allude to the artist's own name.

Title: Calligraphic Galleon
Calligrapher: 'Abd al-Qadir Hisari
Date: dated A.H. 1180/ A.D. 1766–67
Geography: Made in Turkey
Medium: Ink and gold on paper
Dimensions: H. 19 in. (48.3 cm)
W. 17 in. (43.2 cm)
Classification: Codices
Credit Line: Louis E. and Theresa S. Seley Purchase Fund for Islamic Art and Rogers Fund, 2003
Accession Number: 2003.241
The hull of this sailing ship comprises the names of the Seven Sleepers and their dog. The tale of the Seven Sleepers, found in pre-Islamic Christian sources, concerns a group of men who sleep for centuries within a cave, protected by God from religious persecution. Both hadith (sayings of the Prophet), and tafsir (commentaries on the Qur'an) suggest that these verses from the Qur'an have protective qualities.
