CATALOGUE NOTE
These tiles are part of a well-known group from the Eyup shrine and mosque complex on the Golden Horn in Istanbul. The shrine suffered severe earthquake damage in the early nineteenth century and many sixteenth-century tiles found their way onto the European art market in the wake of the extensive reconstruction work at that time. Others remain in situ on the walls of the Eyup shrine. For a full discussion of the group and references to comparables, see the footnote to lot 52, 15 October 2003.
