Plate decorated with horses and polo players. - Enamel, metal - Middle East - second half of the 20th century

Central Theme: The central motif is a vibrant scene of Chovgan (Horse Polo), an ancient traditional Middle Eastern sport, reminiscent of miniature art. Several riders are depicted in full action on an arid field with vegetation and walls. Border Decoration: The edge is elegantly decorated with a deep Cobalt Blue, over which intricate floral patterns ("Isfahan" or "Haft Rang") are applied in bright colours like white, light blue, coral, and green, creating a stunning visual contrast. Shape and Craftsmanship: The plate features a distinct scalloped or wavy shape at its rim, which highlights its handcrafted nature. The enamelling and hand-painting technique gives it a unique texture and a lustre that catches the light.
