The central field is decorated in reserve against a ground of golden-brown lustre. The decoration is very similar to 734A-1888. It is divided into compartments by an octagon which closes off the points of the star, which are filled with small palmettes. The octagon has a double border outlined in cobalt blue and filled with a pearl motif. Inside the octagon is a sideways cross motif (similar to one which appears on 734-1888) which subdivides the octagon into four compartments which are filled with motifs consisting of two split palmettes branching on either side of a bud. There is a dab of dark turquoise pigment at the centre of the tile. Around the edge is a border inscription in cursive script, in lustre on a white ground, and outlined at top and bottom with cobalt blue lines. (Translation of the inscription: \"In the name of God! the Compassionate! the Merciful! Doth not a space of time pass over man during which he is a thing unremembered? Verily, We have created man from the union of the sexes that we might prove him, and hearing, seeing, We have made him. In a right way have We guided him, be he thankful or ungrateful.\")","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"},{"text":"glazed","id":"AAT53914"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Fritware, glazed and painted in turquoise, cobalt blue and lustre","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Islam","id":"THES48932"},{"text":"Tiles","id":"THES48884"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2018LC1873","2018LC1872"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"137 (VA)","id":"THES49876"},"free":"","case":"26","shelf":"8","box":"3"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Tile","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Kashan","id":"x30242"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"early 14th century","earliest":"1300-01-01","latest":"1350-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"734A-1888","id":"O205296"},"association":"Object"},{"object":{"text":"734-1888","id":"O205292"},"association":"Object"},{"object":{"text":"1838-1876","id":"O89590"},"association":""}],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"20.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"20.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"1.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم\r\nهل اتى على الانسان حين من الدهر لم يكن شيئا مذكورا\r\nانا خلقنا الانسان من نطفة امشاج نبتليه فجعلناه سميعا بصيرا\r\nانا هديناه السبيل اما شاكرا واما كفورا","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Qur’anic inscription part of surah 76, verses 1 to 3"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Tile, fritware, glazed and painted in turquoise, cobalt blue and lustre, Iran (Kashan), early 14th century","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Inventory record","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"pearl","id":"AAT11827"},{"text":"palmettes","id":"AAT9995"},{"text":"stars","id":"AAT9811"},{"text":"crosses (motifs)","id":"AAT10044"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":["Koran"],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["1828A-1876"],"accessionNumberNum":"1828","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1876,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-05","recordCreationDate":"2018-04-23","availableToBook":false}}
