Spherical component of a mosque lamp
(1530 - 1550)
Iznik workshop
A ceramic
spherical component of a mosque lamp decorated with rosettes, cloud
scrolls and arabesques. Stylistically, it is related to an inscribed
mosque lamp, in the British Museum, that bears the signature of the
artist Musli al-Din and the date 1549. It is quite possible that both
items are works of the same artist, created on the occasion of the
restoration of the Dome of the Rock at Jerusalem by Süleyman the
Magnificent. From Turkey, mid 16th c. H 23 cm (ΓΕ_9)diameter
