Two confronted sphinxes - female-headed lions with the wings of eagles - perch above his head, offering protection. Note the richly-patterned costume of each courtly personnage, elaborately painted to echo the sumptuous silks of the Seljuq élite. Mina'i ceramics - created during a narrow window of time, most probably in the city of Kashan - often show the luxurious pleasures of royal life, a topic of fascination for the mostly middle-class clientele who purchased the bowls."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Stonepaste, polychrome pigments, gilding"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Mina'i Bowl with Enthroned Ruler Surrounded by Attendants and Sphinxes"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"(not assigned)"},"primaryMedia":{"value":"http://collection.shangrilahawaii.org/internal/media/dispatcher/19750/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"12th - 13th century"},"width":{"label":"Width","value":"17.6000000000"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"164684"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Diameter: 6 15/16 in.
