Can anyone please tell me what this plate is about. I think the word is Perian or Arabic ( I may be wrong) It has very nice designs. Anything about this plate would be really helpful.

Thank You

I don't think the post-Mohammedan Arabians are allowed by religious law (Sharia) to create graven images of humans. Persians: anything goes.

No idea what the plate may represent . . . but it's not uncommon for a man and a woman to enjoy each other's company in several cultures. ;-)


Anything on the back?

That little snippet of writing above them may be Iranian (Persian)

This might help reading the script if it's Persian

I found this site researching the script on a piece of copperware that I picked. It turned out to be a valuable Qajar compote.

You might also want to google Qajar plate.

رباعیات عمر خیام

The Rubaiyat of Omar Kayam

A collection of Persian poems translated in the 1860's



A Jug of wine, a loaf of bread and thou, beside me singing in the wilderness.

I did not get it what Rubaiyath have anything to do with this plate? Is it related to it? Sorry I did not understand why you posted about it.

The scrip writing between and above the couple appear to be رباعیات عمر خیام

Which is Persian and translates to: "The Rubaiyat of Ohmar Kayam"

That's a pretty solid link.

It was a popular book of poems in the US just after the turn of the 20th century.
