EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Twelve-Pointed Star-Shaped Tile from Iran, dating back to A. H. 846 / A. D. 1442-43. Created by an unknown artist, this artifact represents the rich heritage and intricate craftsmanship of Persian ceramics. The tile's design is a testament to the complexity and beauty found in Islamic art. The vibrant blue color, achieved through polychrome glaze within black wax resist outlines using the cuerda seca technique, adds depth and allure to the piece. Delicate floral patterns adorn the surface, showcasing the mastery of interlacing motifs commonly seen in Persian decorative arts. Originally part of Madrasa al Ghiyathiyya, a religious school located in Iran, this tile speaks volumes about its historical significance as well as its role in interior decoration during that era. Its presence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art allows visitors to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also gain insight into Iranian culture and Islamic religion. Made from stone paste or fritware and glazed with white color accents, this twelve-pointed star-shaped tile exemplifies elegance and sophistication. It serves as a visual reminder of Persia's artistic legacy while offering viewers an opportunity for education and appreciation of centuries-old craftsmanship. Overall, this print captures both the intricacy of design and cultural importance embodied by this magnificent Iranian ceramic tile from the fifteenth century.
