Iran: Earthenware frieze in white, turquoise and manganese glaze, c.14th century.

This frieze dates to a period when colorful, glazed pottery began to play an increasingly prominent role in decorations on Islamic architecture. The trend was already present under the Il-Khanids and reached its first culmination with the monumental architecture of the Timurids in Samarkand.
