Know about the book -

Text and Image in Medieval Persian Art is written by Sheila S. Blair and published by Edinburgh University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1474464491 (ISBN 10) and 9781474464499 (ISBN 13).

Focusing on 5 objects found in the main media at the time - ceramics, metalware, painting, architecture and textiles - Sheila S. Blair shows how artisans played with form, material and decoration to engage their audiences. She also shows how the reception of these objects has changed and that their present context has implications for our understanding of the past. Greater Iranian arts from the 10th to the 16th century are technically some of the finest produced anywhere. They are also intellectually engaging, showing the lively interaction between the verbal and the visual arts.
