Khargerd madrese
These two short films (both with sound) explore the Ghiyathiyya Madrese at Khargerd in NE Iran. The madrese (religious school) was constructed in 1438-45 and is a showpiece of Timurid decorative art: with six different sorts of tiles, some elegantly geometrical wallpainting and amazing plaster effects in the muqarnas (stalactite vaulting).
This second film (with sound) focuses on the ceramic tiles in the building, especially the unique 12-pointed cuerda seca star tiles.
