Undecipherable
This tile is associated to a group executed in a similar moulded and lustre design with a central lobed niche from the Takht-i Suleyman, the summer palace of the Ilkhanid ruler Abakha (r.1265–82 AD). This particular example stands out as it was decorated with seated figures, contrary to the other known models which feature an inscription from the Shahnameh and foliate decoration only.
A closely comparable tile was sold in these rooms, 16 April 1985, lot 89, ex-Kevorkian collection and exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1973). For further information on these tiles see T. Masuya: 'Ilkhanid Courtly Life' in The Legacy of Genghis Khan: Courtly Art and Culture in Western Asia, 1256-1353, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, ed. L. Komaroff and S. Carboni, 5 November 2002 - 16 February 2003, chapter 4, pp.75-103.
