Notes
The composition consists of two cross-shaped tiles and three and a half star-shaped tiles connected together to form two panels. Each panel bears a cross-shaped slab with central quadrilateral leaves surrounded by arabesque bands at each end. The inscriptions are located around the perimeter, and on either side of the cross there are star tiles. Each octagonal tile has inscriptions around the edge. The inner surface of the tiles is not identical, but each has its own swirling arabesque patterns, and each of the star tiles is cut in half vertically.
