Tilework is the most spectacular architectural manifestation of Islamic Iran. In Early Persian Tilework, Doulgas Pickett examines the growth to maturity of Persian tilework and mosaic faience, generically termed kashi, from its appearance about 1060 A.D. to the invasion of Tamerlane about 1390 A.D. This volume is copiously illustrated in full color, allowing the reader to both check the facts and appreciate the craftsmanship and beauty of this highly photogenic artform.
