Tile Panel, first quarter 17th century, Attributed to Iran, probably Isfahan, Stonepaste; polychrome glazed within black wax resist outlines (cuerda seca technique), Panel: H. 45 1/2 in. (115.6 cm), Ceramics-Tiles, Isfahan, the Safavid capital, and Na'in were the two main centers in which buildings were lavishly decorated with tilework. The old tile-making tradition of composing repetitive geometrical or vegetal patterns was kept alive on mosques and madrasas, but an important innovation on secular buildings was a composition of square tiles individually painted as single elements of an outdoor scene with characters set in a garden landscape
