EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning tile with a niche design, originating from Iran and dated back to A. H. 860/A. D. 1455-56. The intricate Arabic inscription on the tile reads, "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate" revealing its religious significance. Commissioned by Abu Sa'id (1424-69), this artifact represents the rich heritage art of Persia during the fifteenth century. The close-up shot beautifully captures the vibrant blue color and delicate calligraphy painted on an opaque white glaze using inglaze technique. The floral pattern adorning the ceramic adds an element of elegance and symmetry to this decorative piece. Displayed indoors at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this tile exemplifies Islamic artistic traditions with its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Made from stone paste or fritware, it reflects both Persian and Arabian influences in its design. The orange accents within the pattern add warmth to this exquisite work of art while enhancing its visual appeal. Its presence serves as a testament to Iran's rich cultural history and contributions to ceramics. As viewers admire this remarkable object through Nusrat al-Din Muhammad's lens, they are transported back in time, appreciating not only its beauty but also recognizing it as a significant representation of Islamic artistry at its finest.
