THREE POLYCHROME MOSAIC-CUT TILE PANELS, Central Asia, Circa: 15th to 16th century

Glazed earthenware. Dimensions: Approximately 41.53’’ high, 19.65’’ wide by panel

This rectangular panel, composed of three tiles, is dominated by a dense floral design.
The pattern is painted in an opaque orange-yellow, two tones of green, dark and light blue, black and white. From the 11th to the 18th Century faience (glazed coloured earthenware) became the dominant element of Islamic architectural decoration. The naturalistic floral decoration is to relate to the influence of Ottoman art.
