The oldest Sind tiles on the Dabgir mosque and Mīrza Jānī Bēg's mosque at Tatta, dating from about A. D. 1509, exhibit only two colours, a deep rich blue and a pale turquoise blue, on a white ground, and so resemble the early Multān tiles. Multān used to be reckoned as in Sind, not in the Panjāb, as it is now. The most artistic tile panel from Sind is one from the Jāmi Masjid, Khudabad, near Dadu, built A. D. 1710, which represents a tall lily or tuberose in a stiff, symmetrical style.² - [Previous: c19.s6.47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.47) - [Next: c19.s6.49](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.49) - [Up: c19.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6) ## Linked texts (2) - [Khudābād](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.khudabad) - [Jami Masjid](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.monument.jami-masjid) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.48](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.48) · Pramāṇa
