| Ceramic Bowl, 819-1005, Afghanistan, Freer Museum of Art, Smithsonion |
Found this on the new Art Project site which is really awesome, albeit, somewhat small, but still...check it out!
This particular ceramic bowl not only has great decorative style, but is also calligraphic. The inscription proclaims: "It is said, those who are content with their own opinion, run into danger. Blessing to the owner."
Apparently these moralizing vessels were the rage at the time - and perhaps just as relevant now.
