Lot Footnotes
This tile shows a rather loose interpretation influenced by motifs most commonly found on Ottoman tiles. The influence of Iznik can be seen on large tile panels adorning tombs in the Punjab, especially that of Jalaluddin Surkh Bukhari in Ucch Sharif and on the tombs in the mausoleum of Baha ud-Din Zakariya in Multan (See Millner, A. Indian Tiles, p.270, cat.117 and 118, London, Munich and New York 2021). For our tile is figural it would have certainly not commissioned for a religious building. Millner also documents two octagonal blue and white tiles, one with a mythical beast, the other with a bird, recovered from the Fortalezza palace in Goa. He suggests the technique on reddish paste points to Sindh and a dates of 16th century (Millner, 2021 p.164 and 262, fig.4-43 and cat.88). Our tile thus illustrates a lasting figural pottery tile production in Punjab.
