Entrance iwan, Imam Mosque, Isfahan, Iran
Its splendour is mainly due to the beauty of its seven-colour mosaic tiles and calligraphic inscriptions. The arch framed by turquoise cable mouldings and decorated with rich stalactite tilework are distinctive features of Persian Islamic architecture. The panels on either side of the entrance carry the design of a prayer rug.
