Fiziksel açıklama
Fragment of the lower part of an eight-pointed star tile of grey fritware. Decorated in copper lustre, with a border containing a Persian inscription in lustre on a white ground. The central field of the tile depicts three seated figures, which do not appear to be drinking, but gesticulating, and perhaps are reciting or discussing poetry. The figure at the left is best preserved, and has a halo and beard. Fleshy palmettes suggest a baseline for the composition.
