Exhibition Public - Europe & Africa |
Detail: This exhibition explores one of the most rare and beautiful objects in the collection of The Courtauld Gallery: a brass bag inlaid with gold and silver, made in Northern Iraq around 1300. Decorated with a courtly scene showing a couple surrounded by their retinue of courtiers as well as musicians, hunters and revellers, it ranks as one of the finest pieces of Islamic inlaid metalwork in existence.
