Soup bowl - Kom - Pottery - Meybod Perzie Qajar

This is a traditional Persian earthenware bowl from the Qajar dynasty (18th to early 20th century), originating from the famous potter city Meybod (Iran). The image shows an iconic and traditional Iranian design: Khânom Khorshid (Lady Sun): In the center is a stylized female face depicted, surrounded by sun rays. This motif has a deep cultural meaning in Persia and symbolizes light, warmth and fertility.
Around the central sun are traditionally fish (often identified as protective elements) and birds painted in cobalt blue, ochre yellow and black tones. The object is made of glazed earthenware with characteristic fine crazing lines in the glaze.
