サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「The stars are aligned ✨ This rare rediscovered zodiac basin dates to the 12th century, inlaid with silver and adorned with a treasure trove of astrological designs. Pictured here with specialist @benedictcarterislamicart. Crafted in the shape of the sun and featuring the zodiac signs, solar symbols, planets, animal heads and anthropomorphic calligraphic scripts, this rare basin was made to symbolise the universe and harness its energy – evidence of a counterculture of astrology in the Muslim world. A courtly object, the dish would have been made for a ruler in order to assert their power within both an earthly and cosmic sphere. It has never previously been exhibited, having remained in the same private family collection for decades. It will make its auction debut on 31 March, link in bio for more. #SothebysMiddleEast #Zodiac #Astrology #Astronomy」2月27日 18時01分
