Fountains of Light: Islamic Metalwork from the Nuhad Es-Said Collection (325 words) |
 | Fountains of Light: Islamic Metalwork from the Nuhad Es-Said Collection, the first exhibition of this superb group of objects in the United States, provides an in-depth view of the history of inlaid metalwork from its inception in Iran and present-day Afghanistan and Uzbekistan to its later development in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Anatolia (present-day Turkey). |
 | In the late tenth century, metalworkers in eastern Iran began to manufacture brass and bronze objects inlaid with designs in gold, silver, and copper. |
 | This technique allowed metalworkers to "paint" their vessels with scenes of hunting and feasting—associated with courtly life—astrological signs, and bold calligraphic dedications to rulers. |
