Star-Shaped Tile second half 13th-14th century This eight-pointed star tile was decorated using a method called lajvardina, a term that references lapis lazuli, a deep blue-colored stone containing gold particles. After an initial firing to establish the dark blue background, the tile underwent a second firing to set the overglazed details and the carefully cut pieces of gold leaf, creating a glimmering surface. A flowering spray of Chinese-inspired lotus and peony blossoms occupies the entire surface of this tile, which would have been part of a star-and-cross panel adorning the walls of an Ilkhanid palace, mosque, or mausoleum..
