inscriptions
'There is no conqueror but God'
This tile most probably belongs to a known group of Nasrid lustre tiles associated with the Alhambra palace in Granada (see B.M. Caviró, La Ceramica Hispanomusulmana, Madrid, 1991, pl.106, p.113). Although once used widely throughout the palace, only a small number of tiles still survive onsite. In the course of the latter half of the nineteenth century tourists visiting the Alhambra were encouraged to remove tiles as souvenirs and many are now to be found in museums and collections across Europe such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, inv. no. 382-1894.
