Description: Up for consideration is the replication of a theme depicted on a 10th century ceramic bowl from ancient Persia. The subject is a chained leopard that is decorated with a banner spanning his midsection and with rings upon his legs. The theme is unusual and begs the question as to what purpose is this beast bound and to what end is it decorated so. My best guess is the leopard is so disposed as a form of entertainment, not so different than a lion in a modern circus or a bear in the zoo. It is interesting to note that during this time period on the other side of the globe the Mimbres Culture made ceramic bowls depicting animals/birds that were caged or leashed and often manipulated by a trainer or handler. My guess is that performing animals were a fine source of entertainment at this time. Afterall there were no movies or theater to attend. In any case. Starling Black Studio attempts to preserve archeology and anthropology by recreating pottery that by all appearances is a remanent from a distant time and a far-a-way land. If you enjoy the raw beauty of prehistoric artifacts, then I believe you will agree that "Chained Leopard Vessel" is a replication that appears authentic and captures the essence of a relic reminiscent from the depths of time and the expanse of space.
