This lavishly illustrated collection explores the iconography of Islamic art and presents a diverse range of approaches. The contributors link the interpretation of objects to textual sources, resulting in a collection of in-depth studies of diverse motifs such as the peacock, trees, and the figure holding a cup and branch. In addition, new interpretations are presented of other objects, e.g. an Abuyyid metal basin or Mongol painting. Textual sources on the Ka'ba or the use of marble provide a starting point for the examination of objects and their relationship to history. The architectural decoration of monuments from Egypt to India are also analyzed as are Arab and Safavid paintings. There is also an appraisal of links with Christian elements in Sicily and Buddhist stupas.
People have been searching for meaning in Islamic art for centuries. This generously illustrated book explores the iconography of Islamic art from an illuminating range of perspectives. An overarching theme connects these varied approaches, linking the interpretation of objects to textual sources. The result is a collection of revealing studies of motifs as diverse as the peacock, trees, and the figure holding a cup and branch, and of new interpretations of fascinating objects, such as Mongol, Arab and Safavid paintings, or monuments from Egypt to India.
