A rare Iznik border tile made of white paste and decorated over a white slip in coral red, green, and cobalt blue with black outlining under a transparent glaze. The pattern of cloud scrolls linked by clips is reserved on a coral red grown and is outlined in black. Narrow cobalt borders run along the edges of the tile.

A tile with the same design and colours can be seen in Bilgi, Hulya. The Ömer Koç Iznik Collection. Istanbul, 2015, p. 140.
