Bowl, 500-700. Iran, Sasanian. Silver; overall: 5 x cm (1 15/16 x 5 1/4 in.). Every good Zoroastrian was supposed to spend one-third of his day farming; one-third philosophizing; and one-third eating, resting, and at pleasure. The abundance of Sasanian luxury goods is evidence of the importance accorded the last third of the day.
