Tile with Arabesque Medallions

Tile with Arabesque Medallions

Ottoman

...By its unusual shape, ...this small tile can be determined to have been part of either a conical baldachin over a minbar (pulpit), or...of a half-conical covering of a Turkish fireplace. The pattern is drawn lightly in black on the white slip, while the colors are the familiar tomato red of the seventies and eighties, and a ver bright, light, turquoise. entered by sb02/04/03.
