(lighthearted music) [Woman] These are just perhaps my favorite figures in the entire Metropolitan Museum of Arts' Islamic Collection.발음듣기
대기중
[Man] Stucco. It's this soft, cement-like material, it's not stone, and so it's pretty easy to carve.발음듣기
대기중
[Woman] They really are; probably one of the reasons why they're in such good condition is they were from the desert.발음듣기
대기중
They are so dynamic, beautiful, bright, gorgeous, and they also throw one of the great misconceptions about Islamic art out the window, which is that Islamic art is aniconic.발음듣기
대기중
[Man] Right. I had been taught that in Islamic culture, just like in Judeo culture, you don't represent the human body, you don't represent animals.발음듣기
대기중
[Woman] That's true in a lot of cases, but that conception comes from one of the [hadeeds] that says you basically shouldn't be making graven images, not too different from the prohibitions in the Old Testament; but, what seems to happen is very early on in Islamic art, that prohibition seems to be upheld in mosques, in religious spaces, but in the secular world, all bets are off.발음듣기
대기중
[Man] This is a complex culture with subtle distinctions, and so making these kinds of broad generalizations really doesn't make sense.발음듣기
대기중
It's not like these are just one-offs, actually it's part of a much larger tradition, but these are just exceptional examples of it.발음듣기
대기중
We don't know what the context is, but what we think is that they were probably in some type of reception hall and that they were affixed to the walls; so that when you were coming in to see a strong man or a new ruler, because these were produced around 1200, somewhere in Iran, which was a very unstable period, that these and perhaps others would greet you.발음듣기
대기중
Because we have other examples of painted reception rooms where we have guards or royal figures standing.발음듣기
대기중
They're armed and dangerous, but even a clear expression of their power, I think, comes from their dress.발음듣기
대기중
[Woman] Certainly, because, yes, we have the swords, we have this royal napkin that one of the figures is holding, but the dress is really impressive.발음듣기
대기중
[Man] I'm a little confused because you would think that these would be guards, but these are also royal figures.발음듣기
대기중
To take this symbol of authority is really an amazing thing to do, because it is a symbol that is recognizable to almost anyone who walks into the room.발음듣기
대기중
[Man] The figures themselves feel so eastern, not only in the complexity of their costume, but also in their faces; they have these beautiful, round faces.발음듣기
대기중
[Man] We're looking at these two figures in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, thousands of miles away from their original home.발음듣기
대기중
One would assume that they would have because they are clearly the same size, they are decorated in the same way, they are painted in the same way; these two came from the same context.발음듣기
대기중
[Woman] We have to remember that electric lights didn't exist for most of human history; and if you want to make an impression you need vibrancy, you need color, because otherwise, how are things going to stand out?발음듣기
대기중
You may have natural light coming in, but natural light and candle light are the only ways these things are illuminated.발음듣기
대기중
If you're grinding up lapis lazuli, that's from Afghanistan, you have to trade for that; you have to import that.발음듣기
대기중
The different types of materials that are used are very important, and another symbol of wealth.발음듣기
