Fiziksel açıklama
Tile, fritware body, very finely painted with part of a larger composition of hatayi scrollwork, with two large composite blossoms framed by saz leaves. The motifs are outlined in cobalt-blue and painted in in turquoise, with details added in sage-green. This colour scheme went out of fashion in the 1550s, especially in tiles of this high quality. A frill of lotus leaves runs along one side of the tile (the bottom?), where it edges an area with a cobalt-blue ground.
