Date	Circa 981/1573-4
Notes	A crescent-shaped panel composed of 16 pieces of faience, believed to have come from the mosque of Grand Emir Piyal Pasha, and it shows the height of the skill of Iznik potters. The decoration consists of an undulating band of deep red moving within a field of blue flowers and green leaves, all carefully arranged around wrapped arabesques. The dark blue on the edges contrasts with the colors of the flowers alternating with the green and red leaves. Although the shape of the panel is common, as these panels were one of the features of Ottoman architectural decoration, the quality of the decoration makes them particularly fine examples.
