Notes

These tiles are cream rather than white in colour. Identical tiles decorate the shrine of Eyüp (en:Abu Ayyub al-Ansari) just outside the walls of Istanbul (see: en:Eyüp Sultan Mosque). The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a pairs of these tiles: Accession numbers 1684-1892 and 412-1905. There are also two tiles in the Leighton House Museum in London which are plastered into the wall on the right hand side as one enters the 'Arab Hall'.

Similar, but not identical, blue and white tiles decorate the en:Rüstem Pasha Mosque in Istanbul. They can be seen in this photograph: File:DSC04141 Istanbul - Rüstem Pasha camii - Foto G. Dall'Orto 26-5-2006.jpg.
