Fiziksel açıklama
Border tile of fritware (also called stone paste), painted under the glaze in two shades of blue. The surface is filled with a pattern of the rûmî type, with spiralling tendrils set with forms based on stylized leaves (palmettes and half-palmettes). On one long side there is a border consisting of a repeat pattern of palmette-shaped lobes (not well drawn) outlined in a dark-blue band, with a light-blue fill beyond. Two sides of the tile are damaged.
