The cuerda seca technique prevents glazes from running together with the use of a greasy substance, traditionally manganese. Application with thread or cord gave rise to the name cuerda seca meaning 'dry cord'. It was a significantly more efficient and cost-effective process in comparison to mosaics (see lot 12) and soon gained popularity within the Timurid empire. The technique persisted, and was subsequently employed by Safavid, Mughal and Qajar tile-makers.
A comparable set of four tiles is in the British Museum, inv. no. 1896,1120.1.
