EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a corner tile from the late 12th to early 13th century, broken into two exquisite pieces. Created by an unknown artist, this architectural element is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Middle East. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this ceramic masterpiece reflect the artistic brilliance prevalent during that era. Displayed in the renowned Arthur M Sackler Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution, this artwork represents a significant contribution to Islamic art. Crafted using stone paste painted under glaze technique, known as fritware or lustreware, it exemplifies the skill and craftsmanship of Syrian potters from Raqqa. The Freer Gallery of Art proudly preserves this object as part of its educational institution's collection. Its historical value lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its religious significance within Islam. This corner tile serves as a symbol of devotion and spirituality for followers of this faith. As we admire this remarkable piece captured through photography, let us appreciate how it connects us with centuries past while reminding us that beauty transcends time and place. Let it inspire our own creativity and deepen our understanding and appreciation for diverse cultures around the world.
