Bath scraper, probably Seljuk Iran, 12th - 13th century Rectangular terracotta plaque with molded decoration of a lion with a palmette-topped tail and body adorned with two rosettes, set against a pastillé background. Attached is a small rectangular block of yellow limestone, probably a talismanic stone, with engraved geometric decoration pierced with chevrons, broken lines and small disks. 8.5 x 6.5 and 8.8 x 6.4 cm Wear and small chips, stone broken and glued back together. The Metropolitan Museum, New York, holds a scraper with a similar iconography to ours, decorated with two symmetrical lions (26.102.7) and a second with a bird design, featuring pastillé and rosette decoration (26.102.9). Both are attributed to Seljuk Iran.
