Massive turquoise glazed inscriptions set against brick or unglazed pottery grounds are a feature of a number of mediaeval mosques in Iran (Pickett, Douglas: Early Persian Tilework, the Medieval flowering of Kashi, Cranbury NJ, London and Mississauga, 1977, pls. 6-15 for example). A tile which would have been an upper terminal to a similar inscription as is found here was sold at Sotheby's London, 13 April 2000, lot 72.
