Talc‐Tempered Pottery From Bala Hissar, Kabul: An Analytical Study
Potsherds of cooking ware excavated at Bala Hissar archaeological site in Kabul were studied using X‐ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscope‐energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometry (SEM‐EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and optical microscopy. The sherds revealed to be talc‐tempered associated with clinochlore, calcite, dolomite, palygorskite and chromite. It is argued that talc‐…

Pseudoboleite as an alteration product of azurite in the painted stone of the mullioned windows of the Bargello Palace (Florence)
Pseudoboleite was identified for the first time in a paint layer as an alteration product. • Lead white and azurite mixture alters to pseudoboleite when exposed to chlorine. • Copper and calcium oxalates were detected as degradation product. • A non-drying fat of animal origin has been applied to the stone substrate. • Egg was probably used as a pictorial binder. During the recent restoration of the Bargello courtyard and façades (13th-14th centu…

Integrated Investigations of Painting Materials in the Sasanian City of Ardaxšīr Khwarrah, near Firuzabad (Southern Iran)
Ancient Ardaxšīr Khwarrah, today known as Shahr-e Gur, situated near the modern town of Firuzabad in Fars, Iran, holds historical significance as the inaugural capital city of the Sasanian Empire. During archaeological excavations conducted in 2005 by an Iranian–German team directed by Mas‘oud Azarnoush and Dietrich Huff, a mud-brick complex was uncovered, revealing a remarkably well-preserved stretch of wall painting and a polychrome painted flo…
Colourants on the Persian architectural decorations from the 11th to the 15th century
Over 200 samples from colourants appeared in 50 monuments in Iran dated back to the 11th century up to the 15th century were identified using micro‐X‐ray fluorescence (μ‐XRF), micro‐Raman spectroscopy (μ‐Raman), polarized light microscopy (PLM), and scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometry (SEM‐EDS). Whereas red ochre, red lead, vermilion, and an organic red dye were identified as red colourants, ultramarine blue, azurite…

To be or not to be local: A provenance study of archaeological ceramics from Shahr-i Sokhta, eastern Iran
Findings from the archaeological site of Shahr-i Sokhta in eastern Iran include a wide range of undecorated, monochrome, and polychrome ceramics with gray, red, and buff-colored bodies that date back to a period spanning from 3200 to 1800 B.C.E. Given the large number and variety of ceramics unearthed from Shahr-i Sokhta, the provenance of these wares has remained a subject of controversy. Based on compositional data obtained from quantitative wa…
Structural Study of the Pastiglia and Gilding Decoration at the Vank Cathedral and Bethlehem Church in Isfahan
The pastiglia technique has been widely used as the preparation layer for gilding decoration in Iran during the Safavid period. Generally, the purpose of pastiglia is to create a prominent surface for the gilding array. The main research issue is the lack of technical and structural knowledge of the layered arrays of the two churches under study. Lack of sufficient research and resources on the technical and structural knowledge of Pastiglia and …
Organic residue analysis of Iron Age ceramics from the archaeological site of Kani‐zirin, western Iran
Organic residue analysis of potshards excavated from the Iron Age archaeological site of Kani‐zirin, western Iran, was achieved with acidified methanol extraction and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The GC‐MS data showed plant and animal commodities incorporated in the shards. Also, the investigations confirmed the presence of plant resin together with a tartrate ion within a group of the shards, suggesting a probable use of grape‐r…

Looking Like Silver: Mica as a Pigment in Mid-Seventeenth Century Persian Wall Decorations
Several monuments erected in the mid-seventeenth century in Isfahan, Iran, demonstrate a glittering paint layer as wall decoration. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) on the glittering paint layer showed flakes of muscovite (KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2) scattered on gypsum plaster were responsible for the glittering effect. Accounts of several travellers and historical texts abo…

Early Opacifiers In The Glaze Industry Of First Millennium bc Persia: Persepolis And Tepe Rabat
This study characterizes the opacifiers and colouring agents used in the glazed bricks of Persepolis (mid‐first millennium bc ) and the Mannean site of Tepe Rabat in north‐western Iran (eighth to seventh centuries bc ). Various analytical studies show that lead antimonate and brizziite (NaSbO 3 ) were used as the yellow and white opacifiers in the glazes of Persepolis and Tepe Rabat. Brizziite is shown to be incorporated in the white, green and t…
A Mediaeval Persian Treatise on Coloured and Enamelled Glass: Bayan Al-Sana'at
This paper presents and interprets the terms and concepts described by Hobaysh Teflisi in the twelfth century AD for making Islamic coloured and enamelled glass and lustre decorations. These descriptions comprise the fourth and fifth chapters of Bayan al-Sana'at, a book for “explaining crafts”. The instructions contained in these chapters can be considered as one of the first references on glass making and enamelling on glass in Persian literatur…
