DescriptionA small Kashan star tile, apparently without a border but with touches of blue at the edges, and a central blue spot. The decoration, in a reddish luster, shows two bipedal creatures in reserve, surrounded by poorly drawn vegetation, while a small area at the bottom is reserved for three fish.
