13th century Seljuq bowl known as the ‘Bowl of Reflections.’ Part of the inscription around the edge:Since in these days of infidelity there is friend who does not eventually become an enemy,I now choose to wrap myself in solitude and henceforth amuse myself by myself. O most graceful one in the world, peace be with you: my misery and health are in your hands.If I cannot come to see you, why should that be strange? My spirit and heart are with you.Tell me what the remedy for my pain is. If only I could be given a kiss from your lips. If only one day you would say to your prey, “Arise in health,” and then would say, “It is yours." In the collection of the Brooklyn Museum -- source link
