Border Tile With Vegetal Motif Safavid dynasty (1501-1722), 17th/18th century

This glazed ceramic tile, created during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1722) in the 17th or 18th century, showcases a vibrant floral design characteristic of Persian art. The tile's design features stylized flowers and leaves in a repeating pattern on a rich blue background, framed by white and green borders. The intricate details and bold colors highlight the craftsmanship of the anonymous artist, who employed the "mina'i" technique, a method of ceramic decoration popular in the Safavid period. These tiles were likely used to adorn architectural spaces like mosques or palaces, adding a touch of beauty and sophistication to the environment.
