ملاحظات
This unusually large and complex tile from an architectural frieze has three bands of inscriptions in two different styles. The middle band is upside down, and the words in this inscription and the one below have been deliberately spaced so that the bold vertical letters coincide and can be joined by symmetrical knots
نص عينة
Note The inscription of the upper border of the tile is Quran, surah LXXVI, the end of the 3rd verse and beginning of the 4th verse. This verse follows on from the inscription on the tile in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (UCAD 7642). The main inscription on the V&A tile is Quran, surah II, verse 255 running along the lower part of the tile; and verse 257 upside down along the top of the tile. This information was provided by Delphine Miroudot of the Islamic Arts Dept at the Louvre.

The script, in cobalt blue over the background is interlaced in the centre of the panel and is described at both top and bottom of the tile. There is further calligraphy placed horizontally at the top of the tile, also in cobalt blue.
