Dish with Blood Letting Scene

This dish is kept in the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin Germany. The dish depicts a blood-letting scene. I was made in the 13th century in city of Kashan in Iran. It is made of ceramic with under- and over-glazed painting. This a rare item in which there is a medical imagery on a Persian Dish. Medieval Islamic-Persian dishes made in Kashan are truly beautiful. I hope to see this item in person one day.
