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 design of five interlinked parallelograms forms a complicated chain motif. Each parallelogram is outlined in cobalt blue and has a dab of dark turquoise pigment at the centre. Four large palmettes radiate from the central parallelogram, and split palmettes branch from the top of them, into the points of the stars. Around the edge is a border inscription of very good quality, in cursive script, in lustre on a white ground, and outlined at top and bottom with cobalt blue lines.
