Behind the facades of Ctesiphon: An archaeometric study of stucco architectural decoration from the Sasanian and Early Islamic periods
Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sasanian Empire (ca. 224–651 CE), was a major center of political power and artistic production in Mesopotamia. Excavations conducted in the 1920s–30s by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and the Metropolitan Museum of Art revealed an extensive corpus of stucco decorations from Sasanian and Early Islamic contexts. Their varied forms, decorative patterns, architectural contexts, and dates of production make these stucco…
Different shades, various metals: A multianalytical investigation on Iranian copper-based artifacts (7th–14th century CE) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
A group of copper-based artifacts in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, lacking clear archaeological provenance, has been attributed to early and pre-modern Islamic Iran based on their stylistic features and forms. To gain insight into the materials and metalworking techniques used in their production, these artifacts were subjected to microanalytical investigation. A non-invasive micro-XRF technique was employed to characterize th…
Ceramic musealization: How Ceramics Are Conserved and the Implications for Research
Non-invasive scientific studies on the provenance and technology of early Islamic ceramics from Afrasiyab and Nishapur
Metallurgy, ancient Near East
The development of metallurgy in Mesopotamia and the surrounding lands from the late fourth millennium bce until the end of the Neo‐Babylonian period represented an unprecedented technological achievement that strongly influenced the evolution of agriculture, transportation, tool and weapon production, as well as the visual arts across the ancient world. This achievement was made possible by an exchange of raw materials and expertise over a wide …
Early Islamic pigments at Nishapur, north-eastern Iran: Studies on the painted fragments preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Glaze composition of the Iron Age glazed ceramics from Nimrud, Hasanlu and Borsippa preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Large Audience: Life-sized Stucco Figures of Royal Princes from the Seljuq Period
A pair of almost life-sized polychrome stucco sculptures attributed to the Seljuq period in Iran was closely examined prior to the reinstallation of the Islamic galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2011. Iconographical analysis of their crowns and other accoutrements suggests that they represent a pair of royal figures that were once part of a larger decorative program dated to 1050–1150. Given the itinerant nature of the Seljuq court, …
