In the Middle East, tilework was originally developed as a decorative cladding for brick structures. After 1400 its use spread to Turkey, where tiles were applied to stone buildings using mortar. The most accomplished type had colourful designs painted on a brilliant white ground. Tiles from the Turkish city of Iznik soon became very popular. They were even applied to wooden structures such as royal barges where mortar could not be used. A hole was bored through the centre of each tile, which was held in place by a pin with a decorative head.
