This is one of the eight rectangular lunette panels above the windows on the north facade of the mosque. The tiles with the text in thuluth script were made in Iznik in around 1557 - the year when the mosque was completed. These lunette panels are the earliest example of tiles decorated with bole-red, a colour that would become a characteristic feature of Iznik pottery. For other pictures of the lunettes see:
