Description: Antique Medieval 14th Century Marinid Islamic Tile Panel With Arabic Calligraphy Antique Medieval 14th Century Marinid Dynasty Period Islamic Tiles Panel With Arabic Calligraphy Click images to enlarge Description Antique medieval, 14th – early 15th century, circa 1300 -1420 AD (700–823 AH) Marinid Sultanate (Morocco) Marinid Dynasty period, Islamic calligraphic Zilig tiles panel. The panel consists of three tiles made of red earthenware stone paste ( (also known as Fritware) coated in black manganese glaze. These tiles are intricately carved with an elaborate cartouche that contains an Arabic calligraphy Naskh script on an uneven, chiseled, pale background. The rectangular margin of the panel has inner corners adorned with carved leaves. It probably originated from one of the palaces of the sultans of the Marinid Dynasty in Fez, Morocco. Epigraphic friezes executed in ceramic tile were integral to the decorative program of interiors in both Morocco and Spain. This type of calligraphic tile band was placed above and below large tiles with geometric motifs known as charafa (reminiscent of crenelations), which provided a transition between ceramic tile decoration and plaster paneling on the walls. These tiles were first entirely coated in black glaze, which was carved away, leaving behind the calligraphy on an uneven, chiseled, pale background.
