Millefiori Glass Tile Fragments
Not on view
Glassmakers at Samarra used ingenious techniques to decorate the interiors of the caliph’s palaces. These multicolored fused millefiori glass fragments belonged to larger tiles that were probably used on a wall. They were found in the rubble of Samarra’s Main Caliphal Palace (Dar al-Khilafa) along with opaque black glass tiles and shaped glass inlay pieces.
