520 3 |a These Mamluk tiles reflect the growing impact of Chinese ceramics, most evident in the colour scheme mimicking Chinese blue-and-white ceramics of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. -- The tile above has, around a seventeen-petalled flower, a floral scroll with buds and leaves completing the design. The buds at the corners of the hexagon give a sense of symmetry. -- That below has a central ewer, flanked by floral sprays which differ in design and type of vegetation. -- These hexagonal tiles were painted with cobalt blue on a white background before being glazed. A turquoise border is also visible outside the paired black line running around the edges of the tiles. The smearing of the cobalt blue is a characteristic feature resulting from the firing process (Text by Mehreen Razvi, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.)
