Tile decoration, Green Tomb, Bursa, Turkey
Tile decoration from the Green Tomb or Yesil Turbe, mausoleum of the 5th Ottoman Sultan Mehmed I Celebi, Bursa, Turkey. These tiles are on the interior wall and depict an ornate floral pattern on a background of hexagonal turquoise tiles. The tomb was built by Mehmed's son and successor Murad II following Mehmed's death in 1421 and is so named because of the green-blue tiles which cover the exterior. The architect, Haci Ivaz Pasha, designed the tomb and the Yesil Mosque opposite. Picture by Manuel Cohen
