Notes

Ottoman period, Damascus (Syria)

Glazed ceramic tiles were one of the most popular forms of architectural decoration in the Middle East. This panel of tiles has religious subject matter: the Arabic inscriptions name Allah, the Prophet Muhammad, and the four caliphs of the Sunni tradition. The decorative motifs make reference to Paradise, which in the Islamic tradition is described as a garden entered via a gateway with three arches (copy from https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/5124 ).

Inscriptions = In Arabic, painted from top right-to-left: [God Muhammad Abu Bakr Umar]; from middle right-to-left :[Glory to God]; from bottom right-to-left, [Uthman Ali]. Transcribed by Abdullah Ghouchani, with English translation by Caitlin McKenna (copy from https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/5124 ).
