The broad spectrum of art includes architectural decorations, applied arts and crafts and rare old books. The architectural decorations represent one of the major attractions with works in various media: stone (the façade from Mshatta), stuccoes (archaeological finds from Samarra), painted wooden paneling (Aleppo Room) and wall ceramics in various techniques (prayer niches from Kashan and Konya). The applied arts include works in all possible materials: ceramic vessels, metalwork, carvings in wood and bone, glasses, textiles, carpets. Within the area of books and ancient writings, the calligraphic works and miniatures from albums of Mogul times are of particular significance. |
