Fiziksel açıklama
Small tile in the shape of an 8-pointed star, fritware, decorated in the overglaze technique known as mina'i (from the Persian meaning 'enamelled'). The background is left white and is decorated with a smaller 8-pointed star outlined in black, whose points (except for the top one) are filled with blocks of colour (varying between green, red and blue) with a gilded circle at their centre. At the centre of the star is a seated figure, gesticulating (rather than drinking), whose head projects into the top point of the star. The figure wears a striped robe in green, blue and red, with gilded tiraz bands on the sleeves. He wears a blue turban, around which is a halo, originally gilded.
