Hexagonal Tile with Birds amid Palmette Blossoms and Serrated Leaves
Ottoman
The hexagonal tile contains a central white field filled with floral and animal motifs. The tile is decorated with underlaze painting in cobalt and turquoise slips. The surface of the glaze is somewhat degraded. The decoration extends from two painted ducks sitting at the bottom of the field. Bent-stalked foliage with serrated saz leaves and heavy floral blossoms wrap around the ducks. The borders of the tile contain a floral repeat pattern in dark blue glaze.
