Lid of the Vaso Vescovali, from Khurasan, possibly Herat (modern Afghanistan), ca. 1200. The eight roundels on the lid contain personifications of the planets, including the dragon Jawzahr who represents the lunar eclipse. Each figure has six arms with which to carry the emblems of their magical influences. Multi-armed figures are not usual in the Islamic world and may be an influence from Indian iconography. Tin bronze vessel. Inv. AC 1950,0725.1.
