Notes
The shape of three circles joined together by double wavy lines (perhaps a more abstract form than leopard spots or tiger stripes) was repeated in a range of Ottoman media, whether made for tiles in Istanbul or produced in administrative centers such as Damascus, Syria. In this hexagon tile, the Syrian artist has repeated the design, but not the color scheme based on red and blue on a white background of traditional Iznik tiles. Instead, the tile is richly decorated with turquoise and black, a color scheme that distinguishes the tiles. Syria in the Ottoman period.
