The "Ram shaped Kashan pottery kettle" is a 13th century Iranian artwork currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. This artwork is a water kettle shaped like a ram. This work is part of the Kashan pottery, using transparent turquoise colored glaze and black underglaze painted decoration. Although there are relatively few circular ceramic sculptures in Islamic art, decorative patterns were popular on metal and ceramic vessels in Iran and Türkiye during the Seljuk rule. The shape of a bull is the most common, but there are also vessels in the shape of camels, rams, and lions.
