Rectangular underglaze tiles were commonly made in nineteenth-century Iran to decorate the upper borders of architectural interiors in a continuous frieze. Production of these tiles was centered mainly in the Qajar capital of Tehran. The underglaze technique of painting, applied on either a flat surface or molded in relief, facilitated the creation of scenes reminiscent of painting on paper and constitutes one of the distinguishing characteristics of Qajar tilework.

In this tile, two glorious birds are feeding in a lush bed of natural flowers in vibrant full bloom. The birds with their long graceful tails and colorful wings could represent Huma, a fabulous bird from ancient Persian mythology.
