The background is left white and is decorated with a smaller 8-pointed star outlined in black, whose points (except for the top one) are filled with blocks of colour (varying between green, red and blue) with a gilded circle at their centre. At the centre of the star is a seated figure, gesticulating (rather than drinking), whose head projects into the top point of the star. The figure wears a striped robe in green, blue and red, with gilded tiraz bands on the sleeves. He wears a blue turban, around which is a halo, originally gilded.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"enamelled","id":"AAT53773"},{"text":"glazed","id":"AAT53914"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Frtiware, glazed and enamelled","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Tiles","id":"THES48884"}],"styles":[{"text":"Seljuk","id":"AAT21736"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006AC9263"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"137","id":"THES49876"},"free":"","case":"U","shelf":"4","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Tile","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Konya","id":"x34563"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"},{"place":{"text":"Turkey","id":"x29225"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"c.1200","earliest":"1200-01-01","latest":"1300-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"10.79","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Star tile, fritware, painted in white slip, glazed and enamelled in colours with a seated figure, Turkey (Konya), c.1200.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Probably from the citadel at Konia\r\nTURKISH; middle of 13th century\r\nBought  674-1900","date":{"text":"8 August 1939","earliest":"1939-08-08","latest":"1939-08-08"}}],"partNumbers":["674-1900"],"accessionNumberNum":"674","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1900,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-21","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-24","availableToBook":false}}
