Description

The tile is decorated at the top right by the figure of a bird, represented in the initial moment of flight, with the neck arched, the head turned towards the sky, the beak open, the wings spread and the legs still hanging towards the branch from which it broke off. The bird's body is ocher in color, the wings have yellow and turquoise internal feathers, white and blue external feathers. Beak and legs are turquoise. In the sky above the bird you can see strips of green clouds. On the left of the tile runs an arabesque border, consisting of intertwined tendrils on a cobalt blue background bordered by a thin turquoise frame. The tendrils have different shapes and colors: a thin one of white color, interspersed with small leaves, always white, and with wider leaves, similar to palmettes, of ocher color; the other more robust and yellow and green in color that seems to develop from two semi-corollas of lotus flowers. This tile comes from the Shah Abbas Palace, located on the "Royal Square" of Isfahan.
