Tile | Origin: Iznik, Turkey | Period: ca. 1575 Ottoman period | Details: The ambitious architectural projects sponsored by Suleyman the Magnificent (reigned 1522–60) and his ruling elite in the sixteenth century provided the necessary impetus for large-scale production of Iznik tiles. Using certain standardized sizes and shapes, Iznik tiles and three-dimensional objects share many of the same motifs and color combinations. The design for this tile is clearly part of a repeat pattern, which would have animated an interior or exterior surface, much like a curtain or a piece of textile. | Type: Stone-paste body painted under glaze | Size: H: 31.3 W: 30.0 D: 2.4 cm | Museum Code: F2001.15 | Photograph and description taken from Freer and the Sackler (Smithsonian) Museums.
