Luster bowl with abstract tree , 9th century

This bowl shows the artist’s interest in the complexities of abstraction and rhythmic patterning. The motifs here include wings, a tree-like central divide, and floral elements, all set against a white background that makes it possible for the eye to read the patterns more easily.
