Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Zhengde Room 95 label text:PDF A643 Brush rest with Persian inscriptionThis thickly-potted brush rest is in a traditional Chinese form of a mountain range with five peaks. The single-word inscriptions on either side are written in cursive Arabic script in the Persian language with diacritical points and symbols of short vowels. One side reads khāmah ‘pen’ and the other dān ‘holder’. Zhengde desk porcelains with Arabic inscriptions were made for the court either for Muslim administrators and eunuchs who held considerable power at the time or for the Zhengde emperor himself who was fascinated by foreign scripts and was rumoured to have converted to Islam, a fact unrecorded in the Ming official histories. Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Zhengde mark and period, AD 1506–21 PDF A643波斯文筆架這件筆架胎體厚重，形似中國傳統的山脈表現方式，有五峰。筆山兩面都有單字銘文，用波斯語中的阿拉伯文草體書寫，有變音臨界點和短元音符號。一面讀作khāmah（筆），另一面讀作dān（支架）。為宮廷製造的帶阿拉伯銘文的正德官窯書房用瓷器，既可能是為當時大權在握的穆斯林政務人員及太監所製，也可能是正德皇帝本人所製，因其謎於外國文字，有謠傳他改宗伊斯蘭教，盡管明代官方歷史中未記此事。瓷器，青花江西省景德鎮明代，正德，正德款，1506-1521年
