ABOUT THIS ITEM
Rare early 16th century Mudejar tile of the so-called ‘Aristo’ or ‘cuerda secca’ technique
Geometric design with a central intertwining cords. Very ornate decoration.
This type of decoration was also found in the Convent of Santa Clara de Sevilla, founded in 1289 by Fernando III of Castile. After its partial restoration it retains its walls full of tiles-even in the Museum of Victoria and Alberto de London there are some pieces.
Good condition; some chipping to the edges, some wear to the glaze. No restorations
