Video Title : Wine Cup
Video Description : Met curator Martina Rugiadi on poetic license in Ibn Sukkara al-Hashimi’s Wine Cup, second half 10th–11th century. The decoration of this cup, with a calligraphic band at its rim and a vegetal scroll at its base, is rather austere in appearance, but the inscription, a verse in Arabic, celebrates the pleasures of drinking. The cup compares closely with items in a hoard of silver found in northwest Iran that has been associated with Buyid patronage. View this work on metmuseum.org. Are you an educator?
