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. The decoration is similar to that on 1024-1892. A six-petalled flower at the centre with small leaves radiating round it and four branches top and bottom, left and right which terminate in a fleshy palmette, inside the points of the star. The other four points of the star are partitioned off by curling split palmette branches outlined in cobalt blue, with smaller palmettes inside the compartments. 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! Verily, We have caused it to descend on the night of Power. And what shall teach thee what the night of Power is? The night of Power is better than a thousand months; therein descend the Angels and the Spirit by permission of their Lord for every matter. All is peace...")
