polylobed Explanation: http://www.myartprints.co.uk/a/french-school/polylobed-ellip... This mirror case cover was made in Shiraz in Persia by the artist Ashraf. It dates from 1153 A.H. (1740 AD). It is made of painted and lacquered papier-mache. The octagonal case cover is decorated with the central image of a bird surrounded by roses. This, contained within a ***polylobed*** medallion with small related motifs above and below, is set against a red ground densely filled with golden scroll work. http://nms.scran.ac.uk/database/record.php?usi=000-180-001-2... |
