Description

A vibrant hand-painted ceramic tile from Jerusalem, dating to the 20th century, depicting a horseman dressed in traditional attire set against a stylized floral and architectural landscape. The composition is executed in deep cobalt blue, turquoise, green, and white glazes, bordered by a repeating foliate frame pattern.


This tile exemplifies the continuation of the rich ceramic tradition of Jerusalem, influenced by Ottoman Iznik and Persian styles, often produced in local workshops for decorative and architectural purposes. The craftsmanship highlights both artistic flair and cultural heritage, with minor signs of wear consistent with age and display.
