    Glazed ceramic facing tile, made in Iran during the Qâjâr dynasty, early 19th century. The decoration is first molded, i.e. in relief, then glazed. It depicts a moment of royal entertainment.
    A king, dressed in a rich costume, receives a dignitary, while in the background, a palace shelters musicians and dancers.
    The composition is framed by a border of plant garlands on a white background, typical of Qâdjâr productions.
    The presence of horses, rarely depicted on these tiles, is a noteworthy element, testifying to the importance of the theme of chivalry and hunting in Persian iconography. Horses, symbols of prestige and power, are here associated with the aristocratic world and the art of living at court.
    Historical context
    Under the Qâjâr dynasty (1789-1925), Iran experienced an artistic revival, blending Persian, Ottoman and European influences. The architecture of palaces and religious buildings was adorned with rich ceramic decorations depicting historical, mythological or court scenes. These tiles were often used to embellish royal palaces, illustrating the pomp and culture of the period.
