Hello Filiberto,

In my humble opinion one can bring the christie's fragments close to the FIG 26: 13th-14th century, Anatolia, Kirchheim, Orient Stars, p. 15 posted by Pierre in the main essay (sorry I don't have the picture to post for comparison).

The borders designs are very close and one can imagine, regarding the size of the fragments 3ft.7in. x 8½in. (109cm. x 22cm. ) and 3ft.8in. x 9in. (112cm. x 24cm.) that the field construction is about the same (two octagons).

The main difficulty is maybe to imagine the filling motifs of those octagons.
I can see a beast head in the lower left corner of the right fragment and not a lot more...

Regards,
Y
