Fiziksel açıklama	Border tile of fritware (also called stone paste), painted under the glaze in two shades of blue. The tile is damaged, and much of the pattern at one of the short ends has been lost (compare C.3-1953). The main field is set with alternating shaped figures. These and the border are filled with scrollwork of the rÃ»mÃ® type appearing as white against dark-blue grounds, with highlights in light blue. One figure, set in the centre of the tile, is a horizontal cartouche of a complex but conventional shape, while the other, seen as half-figures at either end of the tile, is an octagon with a scalloped outline. The spaces between these figures are occupied by scrolling stems of the hatÃ¢yÃ® type, set with complex, stencil-like blossoms, small leaves and buds.
