Tile Ottoman dynasty (1299–1923), 16th or 17th century

This 16th or 17th century Ottoman tile, from the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases intricate floral designs. The tile's vibrant colors, including shades of blue, green, and white, are characteristic of Ottoman decorative art, while the swirling patterns and leafy motifs reflect the influence of Islamic art. The tile's intricate details, which would have originally been part of a larger decorative scheme, highlight the craftsmanship and artistry of anonymous Ottoman tile makers.
