It has clear links with manuscript painting, but because no examples of illustrated works on paper or vellum survive from this early period, we cannot know for certain. There are also clear connections with the much larger-scale wall paintings found throughout pre- and early-Islamic Central Asia. On this bottle, we see the typical courtly scenes commonly painted on mina\u2019i ware: richly-dressed courtiers speak in pairs, underneath a colorful register of prancing sphinxes."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Stonepaste, polychrome pigments, gilding"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Turquoise Glazed Mina'i Bottle with Sphinxes and Seated Figures"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Ceramics"},"primaryMedia":{"value":"http://collection.shangrilahawaii.org/internal/media/dispatcher/57356/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"12th - 13th century"},"width":{"label":"Width","value":"12.7000000000"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"164650"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"9 3/16 x 5 in.
