Tile from a Frieze early 14th century Once part of a calligraphic frieze within a tomb or religious structure, this tile holds three lines of religious text. Executed in thuluth script, the raised writing of the central band includes the phrase "And pardon us; and forgive" and is part of a Quranic verse from Sura 2 (The Cow), Verse 286, which describes Gods mercy and protection. The calligraphic inscriptions painted in luster above and below are from other sections of the Quran, although most of the luster on the lower register has worn off. Perhaps set at eye level above a dado of geometric tiles, the full group once formed a continuous band of text. A total of twenty tiles from this frieze are known to exist, including eight in the Museums collection.. Tile from a Frieze 446693
