NORTH AFRICA, PROBABLY ALGERIA. Interesting and rare wall panel made up of fifty main polychrome earthenware tiles depicting a mosque door with horseshoe arch, inside which is a mosque with four minarets, crescent-shaped roofs, windows and colonnades, carnations and stylized flowers in interlacing designs with mandorles. Highlighted by a frame of manganese-treated tiles. Missing, some tiles from the same provenance possibly replaced. 18th century. Size (unframed): Height 153 cm - Width 75.5 cm Note: this set was later framed and sealed with plaster. Very similar models in the Musée National du Bardo in Algiers (Sidi M'Hamed).
