Medieval Persianate Wall Paintings, 10–15th Centuries
This article proposes the first systematic overview of some twenty-five medieval Iranian wall paintings in their architectural contexts (10–15th centuries). Its focus on the artistic technology of wall painting, epigraphic programmes, craftspeople’s workshops, decorative iconography and aesthetics is intended to promote their preservation. The study of these wall paintings contributes to the understanding of the history of religion, artists’ soci…
A little-known Ilkhanid stucco repertoire
This article introduces a little-known Ilkhanid monument, the Mir Zabir mausoleum in Sharifabad village some 33 km to the north-east of Sirjan. This monument has so far only been discussed by Iranian scholars and has received little attention in the West. Its structure is modest—a square structure built of cut stone and topped by a dome, but the interior of the mausoleum features an extensive carved stucco decorative programme that used to cover …
An analytical approach to the glazed architectural decoration in Iran from the 12th to the 14th century
A Re-Examination of the Stucco Mihrab and Lustre Tiles from the Pir-i Husayn Khanqah (13–14th Centuries, Hacıqabul, Qubalıbalaoğlan, Azerbaijan)
The Shirvanshahi-era Pir-i Husayn khanqah is a unique monument, exemplifying a syncretism of a Caucasian cut-stone-constructed fortified ensemble, embellished with lustre tiles and a carved stucco mihrab belonging to the Iranian Ilkhanid artistic tradition. Its inscriptions, rich in information on patronage, construction and decorative interventions, attracted early scholarly attention. Nevertheless, the distribution of the khanqah’s lustre tiles…
CHAPTER Fourteen Towards a Comprehension of Ilkhanid Stucco Style(s)
Unveiling the craftsmanship and knowledge behind Iranian stuccoes (11th–14th centuries)
Gypsum-based stucco decorations of 47 monuments in Iran, from the Seljuq to the Ilkhanid period (11th-14th centuries), were studied by multimodal analytical methods, including X-Ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscope and image analysis to comprehend their composition and technical characteristics. The assessment of results shows that stucco masters in these periods exerted control over the setting process of the gypsum-…

On the Origins of the Shrine of ‘Abd al-Samad in Natanz
This article proposes a re-examination of the phases of construction and decoration at the shrine of ‘Abd al-Samad in Natanz and demonstrates that the core fabric and elements of architectural revetments of the shrine are datable to the Seljuq period ( 431-590/ 1040-1194), or slightly later. The structure was repurposed and redecorated, including the addition of extensive lustre tiles and stucco, for ‘Abd al-Samad by Zayn al-Din al-Mastari in the…
Lost and Found
The mausoleum of Pir-i Bakran (1298–1313) is an exceptional Ilkhanid monument, which exemplifies different types of architectural decoration. These rich and exuberant revetments have been subject to extensive research: scholarly concern with the mausoleum focused on the distinctions between the monument's numerous constructive and decorative phases and its stuccos, wall paintings, and applied stuccos. However, the mausoleum was originally also de…
The Ilkhanid Revetment Aesthetic in the Buqʿa Pir-i Bakran
The Pir-i Bakran mausoleum (completed by 1312–13; Linjan, Isfahan) is considered to be a typical example of exuberant Ilkhanid architectural decoration. In the 1970s, the International Association of Mediterranean and Oriental Studies (IsMEO) undertook significant research and restoration work on the mausoleum. After their efforts were interrupted by the onset of the Iranian Revolution, restoration activities were continued by the Iranian Cultura…
