Resumen de An Islamic metalwork pomander in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
The article describes an Islamic metalwork falcon in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It was identified as an incense burner from 18th- or 19th-century Iran, but the author suggests that it may be a pomander, used to spread scent into the air, from the 12th-century Seljuk period. The author compares the metalwork falcon to a brass hawk pomander from 12th- or 13th-century Persia and an incense burner shaped like a duck from 12th-century Iran.
