Summary

Description
English: Tiles with part of an arabic inscriptions in the courtyard of the Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey.
Français : Carrelage avec les inscriptions en arabe dans la cour de la Mosquée Süleymaniye à Istanbul en Turquie.

This is one of the eight rectangular lunette panels above the windows on the north facade of the mosque. The tiles with the text in thuluth script were made in Iznik in around 1557 - the year when the mosque was completed. These lunette panels are the earliest example of tiles decorated with bole-red, a colour that would become a characteristic feature of Iznik pottery. For other pictures of the lunettes see:

This panel is the third from the left hand side. The lunette panels on the right side of the facade quote the Throne verse from the Quran (2,255), those on the left side the last verse of the Fath sura (48,29).(see Necipoğlu 2005 p. 217)
