Twelve-Point Star, Islamic, 1450, Art Institute of Chicago: Asian Art
This twelve-pointed star is composed of glazed cut tiles that were assembled as a mosaic. Although mosaics were not uncommon at this time, other extant star tiles of this period were typically fired in one piece. The vivid color scheme of turquoise and cobalt highlight the mosaic’s intricate pattern of flowers and scrolls. A mosaic like this one might have formed a central decorative element on the pulpit of a mosque or it may have adorned the walls of a grand hall or madrasa, a religious school. Gift of Frank G. Logan Size: 59.7 cm (23 1/2 in.) Medium: Glazed fritware tiles cut and reassembled as a mosaic
