Bowl with enthronment
, 7th century
Gilded Silver
The enthroned king is flanked on the right by an attendant waving a fly whisk and on the left by a noble figure holding a beaded diadem. The ends of the bowl are adorned with dancing girls, whose long scarves fly backward toward the central scene. This is the first appearance in Sasanian art of a throne of this design.
