Curator from Home: Dinner with a Side of Wisdom with Dr. Marika Sardar

Nourish your mind or feed your body? The Museum’s Dr. Marika Sardar serves up examples of 1,100-year-old ceramic dishes from Central Asia that encouraged dinner guests to do both at the same time. Watch the video below to dig into the history of these objects and the words of wisdom they convey.  Featured Multicoloured Bowl with Large Calligraphic Band (AKM541) and Bowl from Nishipur, Iran (AKM546).
