Panel Composed with Tiles in Shape of Eight-pointed Stars and Crosses 1260-70 Panels composed of eight pointed stars and crosses commonly adorned walls of religious architectural sites in Iran during the Ilkhanid period. The intricate patterns on these tiles are luster-painted in a brownish-red on white opaque glaze. In this example, the cross-shaped tiles with a plain design were constructed in the twentieth century to replace missing ones when the panel was assembled. At the center of these tiles, we see abstract vegetal patterns, a motif that is consistent with ceramics and tiles from Iran during that period. In addition, there are figural depictions of fish in some of the tiles that have a deeper ontological significance. All of Gods creation such as animals, plants, and stones were believed to emanate from the same cause and therefore related on an ontological level..
