A Set of Five Islamic Rectangular Calligraphic Tiles, Early 20th Century.

A set of five rectangular ceramic tiles, richly adorned with cobalt blue calligraphy on a deep blue background, framed by lighter blue borders. The flowing script presents a poetic verse mentioning Joseph, traditionally associated with beauty and wisdom. Likely originating from the decorative interior of a mosque, these tiles embody the artistic and spiritual essence of Islamic architecture.
