Chinese Ming Iron Bell with Dragon Handle, c. 1600
Located in Chicago, IL
This monumental Ming-dynasty bell once pealed in a Chinese village, sounding out in celebration or giving notice of important events. Expertly forged, the cast-iron bell is detailed with characters in intricate relief, and its exaggerated scallop rim is traced with oversized rivets. Covered in scales and ending in expressive faces, the bell's handle is cast in the form of a two-headed hong dragon, thought to be the embodiment of a rainbow and thus visible only after rainfall. Frosted with snow or lit from within by flickering candles, this sculptural bell takes on a magical presence in the winter garden.

Islamic Calligraphic Rice Pan "Parat", 20th Century
Located in Islamabad, PK
This culinary masterpiece, designed for the preparation of rice, transcends its utilitarian purpose and becomes a work of art in its own right. The entire surface of the rice pan is adorned with intricately engraved calligraphy, adding a touch of elegance and cultural significance.
The brass rice pan is substantial, reflecting its purpose as a tool for large-scale cooking. Its sheer size and sturdy construction make it a standout piece in any kitchen or culinary setting. The brass material provides a warm and lustrous backdrop for the detailed engravings that grace its surface.
The calligraphy on the rice pan is a testament to the artistry and precision of the craftsman. Delicate Arabic or Persian script, characterized by flowing lines and elegant curves, covers the entire exterior of the pan. The calligraphy may feature verses from poetry, blessings, or traditional sayings related to food, hospitality, and prosperity. Each inscription is meticulously engraved, creating a visually striking contrast between the polished brass and the finely detailed letters.
The combination of the monumental size, brass material, and engraved calligraphy transforms this rice pan into a cultural artifact that goes beyond its culinary function. It becomes a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and the importance of communal gatherings around food. Whether displayed as a piece of art or used in the preparation of meals, this monumental brass rice pan stands...
