Two blue and white 'Dome of the Rock' type tiles, Palestine or Syria, 16th century, painted in cobalt blue on a white ground with a split-palmette set on the diagonal and a vine bearing partial flowers to the sides and corners, approximately 19.5cm square (2) Provenance: The property of a Lady. The design of these tiles has Timurid origins and was first seen on the Ottoman era restorations of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem which was undertaken by Persian craftsmen. They probably moved on to Syria when their work was complete as is suggested by the number of buildings in Aleppo with tiles of this design.
