Fiziksel açıklama
Small tile in the shape of a cross, fritware, decorated in the overglaze technique known as mina'i (from the Persian meaning 'enamelled'). The background is turquoise, and the surface decoration is lightly moulded. It is decorated with a vertical stem which branches into the right and left arms of the cross to form a flowering plant. This was once painted in gold leaf which is now mostly lost. The background is decorated with spirals and tightly curled leaves in a black pigment.
