Golden Disk of Heaven: Metalwork of Timurid Iran
Linda Komaroff
The broad purpose of this book is twofold. One, to provide a systematic study of the
forms, techniques, decorative vocabulary, and epigraphy of a body of metalwork that will
be shown to have been produced in Iran under the reign of the Timurid dynasty and within
the milieu of Timurid court-sponsored art. And two, to relate this material to the overall
development of Iranian metalwork from the middle of the 12th through the early 16th
century. The contention of this study is that a distinctive style of metalwork was
formulated in the eastern Iranian world during the rule of the Timurid dynasty. As the
innovative features that characterize this style have not been previously identified and
defined, pre-existing metalwork traditions in Iran and adjacent lands must first of all be
reviewed in order to ascertain the extent to which the Timurid material is a phenomenon of
a specific time and place.
