Notes
The decoration of this page is delicate, consisting of a geometric shape with black ribs under a turquoise glaze. We do not find traditional writings on its side, but rather a verse from the poetry collection of the poet Hafez, describing the condition of a tortured lover. (I have washed the tears from my eyes to no avail / Because my eyes are not worthy of imagining your appearance?) At the end of the verse: “It was completed in 873 years.”
