This imagery captures a continuous theme in Iranian art: the hunt. Scenes of humans and animals hunting have been depicted in the arts of Iran since pre-Islamic times, appearing in stone carving and metal vessels of the Achaemenids and Sasanians. The motif of the hunt is called Gereft-o Gir (\u201ccatching and hunting\u201d) in Persian. During the Safavid period (1501\u20131722 CE), artists of the court-sponsored workshops depicted hunting scenes that were shared across multiple forms of media. Gereft-o Gir was especially prominent in Safavid carpet design."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Ceramic, polychrome pigments"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"164989"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Polychrome Tile Panel with Vase Motif"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Ceramics"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall: 99 x 45 in.
