Description
This show highlights a symmetrical floral pattern typical of Qallaline earthenware. The design in ocher, green and yellow tones represents four stylized flowers meeting in the center.

Qallaline ceramics are one of the jewels of Tunisian artistic crafts. These tiles, which adorn the walls of patios and mosques, testify to the refinement of Islamic aesthetics and the taste for interior gardens, even in figurative form.
