This print showcases a remarkable artifact from 12th-13th century Iran, titled "Molded Vessel in the Form of a Mother and Child". Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this ceramic figurine depicts the tender bond between a mother and her child. The black color of the vessel adds an air of mystery and elegance to its overall appearance. The piece is a testament to the rich heritage art of Persia, reflecting both Islamic influence and Persian craftsmanship.
