EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Cross-Shaped Tile from 13th century Iran, exuding an air of mystery and historical significance. Created by an unknown artist, this artifact was discovered on the walls of an Ilkhanid building, adding to its allure. The tile is a testament to the rich heritage art of Persia and the Islamic influence that permeated the region during that era. The intricate design features beautiful ceramic work in shades of blue and turquoise, with luster painted on opaque white glaze. Its cross shape adds a religious element to its decorative appeal, reflecting the strong presence of Islam in Iranian culture at the time. Displayed indoors at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this full-frame image allows viewers to appreciate every detail up close. Crafted using stone paste or fritware technique, this brown canine-themed tile exemplifies Persian pottery craftsmanship. Kashan, known for its exceptional ceramics tiles production during this period, serves as the location where this remarkable piece originated. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how artistry flourished under the Ilkhanate empire's patronage. This photograph preserves not only an extraordinary object but also our connection with history and cultural identity. It reminds us of Iran's artistic legacy while leaving us intrigued by the enigmatic creator behind such a masterpiece.
