A set of “stunning” tiles that once decorated the walls of a 17th century Iranian palace are set to go on display for the first time in a generation at a new exhibition at V&A Dundee.
The rare tile panel dates from the reign of Safavid ruler Shah Abbas II (1642-1666), and originally decorated the wall of his private hammam (bathhouse) within the now-demolished Haft Dast Palace in Isfahan.
