Fiziksel açıklama
Tile in the shape of an eight-pointed star, fritware. The central field is decorated in reserve against a ground of golden-brown lustre. A simple four-petalled flower at the centre with a dark turquoise blue spot at the very centre of the tile. The decoration radiates from it and consists of four large palmettes, inside of arches formed above them by split palmettes (similar to 734-1888). Around the edge is a border inscription in cursive script, in lustre on a white ground, and outlined at top and bottom with cobalt blue lines. (Translation of the inscription: "In the name of God! the Compassionate! the Merciful! For the infidels We have got ready chains, and collars, and flaming fire. Verily a wine-cup tempered with camphor the just shall quaff; fount whence the servants of God shall drink, and guide by channels from place to place.")
