THREE SELJUK BRONZE STRAINER LADLES
Ca. AD 1100 - 1200. A set of three bronze strainer ladles with its form both elegant and practical. Each features a round bowl with a densely pierced base, allowing for the efficient straining of liquids or other substances. Strainer ladles like this one were widely used for a variety of culinary and household tasks. They were often used for straining liquids, such as broths or soups, and for separating solid ingredients from liquids. Strainer ladles were also used for serving food, such as fruits or vegetables, and were seen as a symbol of hospitality and generosity. Size: L:410mm / W:110mm ; 380g Provenance: Property of a London Islamic art specialist collector; previously in a collection formed since the 1980s.
