Tiles of this design were used to decorate the interior of the tomb of Sultan Selim II in the Hagia Sophia complex. The tomb was built by the architect Sinan and completed 1574-75 AD (Nurhan Atasoy and Julian Raby, Iznik, The Pottery of Ottoman Turkey, London, 1989, pl.411, p.232).

This tile bears an inscription on the reverse in Armenian which likely dates to the point of the creation of the tiles or shortly afterwards, and is provides very rare evidence of the presence of Armenian craftsmen at Iznik in the 1560s and 1570s.

A square tile of the same design but with green medallions was sold in these Rooms, 10 October 2013, lot 148.
