This tile was originally square, ten inches on a side, but was cut down to form a border eight inches wide, probably in the apartments of Murad III.The tile formed, in its original square form, part of a continuous pattern utilizing four floral rosettes, two curved leaf forms with flowers upon them, and a cloud or dragon motif in bright red, which curled through the center and corners of each square. The glazes are thickly applied within a thin black outlining on the slip.
