唐 鏨花鎏金銀碗|Bowl with deer
Unknown
late 8th–9th century · Silver with parcel gilding · Asian Art
The main motif of this bowl, a deer with a single crown-shaped antler, is inspired by the Sogdian art of Central Asia. It is formed in repoussé then gilded—a typical technique found in Sassanian silverwork, as is the chased decoration along the vessel lip.
