This print showcases a remarkable tile dating back to the 12th-13th century. Created by an unknown artist, this architectural element is a true testament to the artistic mastery of its time. The tile, originating from Syria's historic city of Raqqa, represents the rich cultural heritage and Islamic influence prevalent in the Middle East during that era. Crafted from stone paste decorated with glaze, this ceramic masterpiece features intricate designs and vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. Its lustreware finish adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to its overall aesthetic appeal. The delicate craftsmanship displayed on this tile reflects both religious symbolism and artistic expression. Preserved within the prestigious Smithsonian Institution's Arthur M Sackler Gallery, this object serves as an educational tool for visitors seeking to delve into history through art. As part of their mission to promote knowledge and understanding, these scientific institutions play a vital role in preserving our collective heritage. The photograph captures every minute detail of this ancient artifact, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even if they cannot physically experience it themselves.
