Lot 179 A POLYCHROME MOULDED POTTERY TILE, PERSIA QAJAR 19TH CENTURY
Reference: ART3008482
A Qajar ceramic tile depicts a poised horseman carrying a falcon, rendered in delicate underglaze tones of cobalt blue, turquoise, and green. The rider, shown in profile on a white horse, is set within a stylized floral landscape of lotus-like blossoms against a deep blue ground. A scrolling vine border frames the scene, enhancing its ornamental balance. The composition blends courtly symbolism—falconry as a mark of nobility—with the refined, decorative aesthetic typical of Qajar art. Tile: 14 by 19 cm.
