This tile depicting the sufi mystic,Hafiz, is extraordinary because it shows the perfect harmony of opposing aesthetics,combining the abstract black flowing calligraphy pen work of Islam with the figurative tempera portrait of early christian iconography.These styles are so distinctively different and yet they exist easily in harmony here. Beautiful simplicity.
