Abstract

In an article entitled “Un diptique de foundation en ceramique lustrée, Kašan 711/1312,” Chahriyar Adle studied two pieces of luster circular tiles preserved in the Sèvres Ceramics Museum in Paris. According to the tile inscriptions, they were made in connection with a Shi‘ite monument in Kashan. A dream from 711 AH/1312 AD is inscribed on one of the tiles with a raised horseshoe-like edge. According to the description of the mentioned dream, Imam ‘Ali and Imam Mahdi arrived at Kashan on their way to India, and Imam ‘Ali issued an order to build a turbat-khāneh so those who cannot visit them visit that shrine. Despite the studies and existing reference to the turbat-khāneh’s general location, the building and its exact location have not yet been identified. Therefore, these questions arise: do the mentioned pair of luster tiles refer to a specific building? And if yes, where is it located and what are its features? This study uses an interpretive-historical method, in which inscriptions and other historical texts are studied and interpreted. In addition, a large area at the northwest of the city’s historical walls was investigated. Then, the remains of a religious building are studied and compared with other similar examples to clarify its features and its construction time. The findings show that a small domed building north of the Sāleh-ābād Cemetery outside Kashan’s walls is the same building whose construction is mentioned on the pair of luster tiles. The studies show that the two unique tiles are related to a small vdomed building on the north of Kashan’s historical walls in Sāleh-ābād—where there was another building until 2018 called Qadmagāh-i ‘Ali. These two tiles have survived to tell a part of Kashan’s cultural and architectural history and, of course, to illuminate the role and standing of a forgotten religious building in Kashan’s Shi‘ite culture.
