This print showcases a remarkable square tile with slag attachments, dating back to the 11th-12th century. Created by an unknown artist, this architectural element is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of that era. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this ceramic masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. Displayed in the prestigious Arthur M Sackler Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution, this artwork represents a significant contribution to Islamic art. With its origins in Raqqa, Syria, it exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship prevalent in Middle Eastern cultures during that time. The stone paste with glaze used in creating this tile adds depth and luster to its appearance. Its lustreware technique further enhances its beauty and religious significance within Islam. As we admire this object from centuries past, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. This photograph serves as an educational tool for students and visitors alike at various institutions around the world. With each glance at this image, one can't help but marvel at how art transcends time and connects us to our ancestors' creativity and spirituality.
