A 19th Century Hispano-Moresque wall charger, finished with repeating floral motifs across the face of the piece and a striking geometric design in the centre, reminiscent of Zellij. The piece is finished in a contrasting red and blue, which was a hallmark of pieces produced in this region of Spain.
Due to strict rules regarding An-Iconic practise in Islamic art, floral motifs such as this were common features in Islamic art, in order to avoid a focus on concepts such as realism, such as humans or animals, as well as concepts such as growth or life.
