Fiziksel açıklama
Small angled tile, fritware, decorated in the overglaze technique known as mina'i (from the Persian meaning 'enamelled'). The background is grey-blue and the outer edge is decorated with a border of chevrons painted in a black pigment. The angled profile of the tile is followed in a line painted in red around the interior of the tile, and another within this painted in black. This forms a central panel within which are 3 fleshy palmettes painted in black, with details added in white and dots in red.
