BEHOLD these beautiful dragon-themed plates from 15th-century Spain! These most likely come from the town of Manises, which was renowned for its lusterware. This type of pottery was heavily influenced by Islamic pottery, and the Spanish artisans who made these plates included both Muslims and Christians.

But anyway, DRAGONS!

These images come from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection on JSTOR, which includes nearly half a million open access images for everyone.
