More information

This tile panel is created using the cuerda seca technique (Spanish for "dry cord"), which was one of the most commonly used forms of tile decoration in Safavid Iran. This practice developed alongside tile mosaic in the late 14th century in Central Asia. It was a quick method and became particularly popular during Shah 'Abbas's reign (1588-1628).
