Damascus tile decorated with flowers and cintamanis Siliceous paste with polychrome painted decoration under a transparent colorless glaze, in a gilded wood frame Levant, Damascus, late 16th century H. 27 cm - L. 26.5 cm AR Slightly missing.

Two very similar tiles are in the Victoria and Albert Museum (Inv. n°452-1901) and the British Museum (Inv. n°1960,0519.1) in London. For another tile from the same group, see : Millner, A.
