Tile in the shape of a cross, fritware, decorated in the overglaze technique known as mina'i (from the Persian meaning 'enamelled'). The background is turquoise and the surface decoration is lightly moulded, and decorated in gold leaf with a vertical stem which branches into the right and left arms of the cross. Triangular-shaped leaves sprout from it, and at the centre of the tile is a flying bird (perhaps a duck). Made in Iran, probably Kashan, early 14th century. Ceramic; Middle East. Right arm detached.
