Qajar Ceramics: Bridging Tradition and Modernity
RM120.00Add to cartSummary:
The Qajar era (1785–1925) was a time of struggle to maintain Persian tradition and identity while embracing innovation and modernity.

Qajar Ceramics – Bridging Tradition and Modernity is about art in transition, featuring a diversity of ceramic objects from the collection of the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia. Both the publication and the exhibition offer a closer look at the distinctive characteristics of Qajar ceramics, highlighting their forms, aesthetics and themes.
