A panel of the same tiles is found in the Sultan Ahmed mosque, Istanbul. (Oz, Tahsin: Turkish Ceramics, Turkey, pp.X and 34-35, pl. LV, p.106; Öney, Gönül: Turkish Tile Art, Istanbul, 1976, p.54). The tiles in this mosque vary very considerably in quality and there is a question about whether the better tiles, of which the present lot is certainly an example, have been re-used from another earlier building.
