Mughal Jali-Style Terracotta Glazed Window Tile

Northern India, 19th century

This elegant window tile, molded and with open-work decoration and in the shape of a

mihrab (prayer niche) is reminiscent of the sandstone jali screens employed in northern India to aid with air flow in a hot, humid climate. Probably from a mosque or some other public building.
