Kashan Tiles : Tribute to the Three Wise Men
Ceramic tiles (blue and copper reduction lusterware technique)
15 x 15 inches
Kashan is a city in Iran that is associated with high quality ceramic production and lusterware.
Kashan is also believed to be the place where the Three Wise Men (Balthazar, Melchoir, and Jaspar) originated from and from where they set off on their journey, following the star, to find the baby Jesus.
It is thought that they were Zoroastrian priests, and therefore had knowledge of astrology and ancient texts, and so they knew that this was no ordinary star.
These tiles were made using a blue and copper reduction luster technique that was developed in the medieval period in Kashan.
I have used designs taken from pottery found in Kashan and I have included some words written in Persian (Farsi).
