Notes	The rectangular panel consists of square tiles dominated by a yellow and brown horseshoe-shaped arch supported by two columns and two capitals. The space under the arch is filled by a dense, symmetrical floral design emerging from a vase standing on a base, surrounded by cypress trees. Three lotus flowers on fixed branches, one above the other, give the feeling of the presence of a central axis. On either side of the axis appears a tendril composed of three coils emanating from the vase, each of which is filled with large flowers that are similar to each other, two facing each other. The lower pair is florets, the middle pair is a lotus, and the upper pair is a peony. The remaining space under the arch and the spaces above it are filled with clusters of different flowers, and above the arch there is a circle containing patterns in the shape of half-moons. The design is colored in opaque yellow orange, two shades of green, dark and light blue, and brown on an opaque white glaze, and the painting is framed with a wooden frame. During the eleventh and twelfth / seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Tunisia, colored ceramics dominated architectural decoration and the horseshoe-shaped arches that were known as the mihrab, a feature that cannot be overlooked in most faience panels. Ottoman art was influenced by the use of natural floral patterns and cypress trees.
