Fiziksel açıklama
Tile in the shape of an eight-pointed star, fritware. A smaller eight-pointed is drawn within the central field and surrounded by a circle which is outlined in blue. Simple leaf forms fill the outer and inner points of the star, and the whole border area is coloured cobalt blue. Within the inner star, the field is decorated in reserve against a ground of golden-brown lustre. Two long-tailed birds, possibly peacocks, are addorsed and their heads turn to face each other; they have haloes round their heads. In between and above their heads is a small flying bird, characteristic of the Kashan style. Flowers and simple palmettes fill the rest of the ground.
