Abstract
View of the dome of the Chahar Bagh Madrasa from the east side of the courtyard, showing the arabesque tile patterns and calligraphy.
Description
Partial view of the dome of the Chahar Bagh Madrasa (compare with dome in B02.075 and B02.082). The dome is "adorned with intertwining black, yellow and white arabesques on a turquoise blue base [and] also has the traditional alternate bands of lapis lazuli blue and calligraphic inscriptions on its drum. The previous emphasis on floral patterns is reduced in favor of a simpler contrast between yellow brickwork and inset tile mosaic panels." -MA.
