The Bobrinski Bucket
Ghūrid Afghanistān, 1163 AD

Bobrinski Bucket, 1163, Herat
Dated, tells us where it was made and about the commission; probably used to be taken to the bath house as Islam is theologically against gold and silver vessels; inscriptions alternating with figural scenes (which speak to you in the first person); on the rim - dedicatory inscription in Persian. Bronze, inlaid with silver and copper, incision on the silver inlay to make faces, etc.
