Antique Persian Zoroastrian Parsi Parsee "Muktad" Silver Vase, 1900
About the Item
PERSIAN Zoroastrian Parsi Parsee "Muktad" Silver Vase Ca. 1900
Chased in a Shiraz-Persian style (a linkage back to the Parsees’ Zoroastrian roots in Persia). This beautiful vase from the Qajar Dynasty era (1785 to 1925) is originated in Shiraz, a southwest city in Persia and the home of the Achaemenid Persian Empire founded in the 6th century BCE by Cyrus the Great.
The Parsee themes are particularly evident. The winged Parsee deity Ahura Mazda is represented on the vase.
Silver symbolizes purity in the Zoroastrian tradition and is a part of all auspicious and sacred occasions from birth onward.
The vase is guaranteed to be silver, roughly 120 years old, and a true masterpiece of craftsmanship from this era.
The measurements are: Height – 9 2/3inches (9.84 inches) or 25.5cm, diameter 4 2/6 inches (4.33 inches) or 11 cm.
Weight – 560 grams
* "Muktad" vases are used during the Parsee ceremony of "muktad", the annual prayers for the dead,
celebrated in the last ten days of the Parsee calendar.
