Islamic Art

While reading through the Art and History of the different Islamic era's I found many similarities that directly resembled other cultures techniques. Starting in the Early Islamic period they talk of how Islam uses certain ideas from Judaism and Christianity such as their prophetic tradition which is any form of written or spoken prophecies most commonly relating to religion ceremonies. Art in this period created a cosmetic glass container mounted on the back of a donkey was taken from a type of Roman glass vessel using the same technique and for the same function. Islam’s also began to imitate the Chinese porcelain’s in the ninth century. In the Early Mid evil Period Islam and Turkish culture was inherited into Anatolia after Turkish rule in Asia Minor was followed by their victory over Byzantine Army. From the waves of Turkish tribes migrating into Islam, Persian language and culture were adopted in Islam. Lastly in the Late Mid evil Period as a byproduct of the Mongol invasion new Chinese techniques where inherited into Islam like new vocabulary.
