Description
English: Lustre tiles from Iran, probably Kashan, 1262. The tiles are in the shapes of the Sufi symbols for the divine breath, the octagon for breathing out, the cross for breathing in; the two fit together as a tessellation, an example of an Islamic geometric pattern. Each tile is unique, the design surrounded by quotations from the Qur'an.
