Tile with Niche Design 1430 - 1481

This 15th-century tile, created by the artist Nusrat al-Din Muhammad, is a stunning example of Islamic tilework. The tile is adorned with intricate floral motifs and a central niche design, all rendered in vibrant blue, red, and white glazes. The inscription around the border is a testament to the importance of calligraphy in Islamic art. This tile, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural richness of the Mamluk period in Egypt.
