Luster Wall Tile with a Couple by artist unknown. The object is a wall tile in the shape of an eight-pointed star with a white background and a blue border. The tile features a central image of a man and a woman, both with dark hair and dressed in ornate robes with intricate swirling patterns and blue accents. The man on the left has a beard and wears a robe with blue circles and swirling designs. The woman on the right has long dark hair and wears a similar robe with blue and gold patterns. The border of the tile around them includes Arabic script and decorative motifs, with a small blue and white bird on either side. The background of the central image is brown with swirling white designs, and there are additional Arabic inscriptions around the edge of the tile on a white background with a blue outline. The background behind the tile fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
