Fritware covered with white glaze painted with lustre
Pinkish fritware, mould made, covered with a white crazed glaze painted in brown lustre. Star-shaped
Decorated surface: painted in reserve against a lustred background a seated figure wearing a gown, decorated with groups of three dots, and a headdress is depicted holding a vessel in his right hand. Coiling vines and leaves decorate the background. The edge of the tile is highlighted by a white contour line, an area left undecorated in lustre, which echoes the star shape of the tile. Glaze and lustre runs over the tile edges.
Reverse surface: Two deep gouges in the surface probably created during the manufacturing process.
