Shepherd Jesus Iznik Tile Panel
Inspired by the remarkable "Shepherd Jesus" fresco discovered in the Hisardere Necropolis of Iznik, this 80×60 cm Iznik tile panel brings one of the earliest examples of Christian iconography into the tradition of Iznik tiles.
The original fresco, dating to the Early Christian period, depicts Jesus as the Good Shepherd and represents one of the most significant archaeological discoveries made in ancient Nicaea. Faithfully reinterpreted by our designer while preserving the character of the original artwork, the composition has been adapted to the traditional Iznik underglaze technique.
Entirely handmade using a high-quartz body and hand-painted underglaze decoration, this panel reflects centuries-old Iznik ceramic craftsmanship. Combining archaeological heritage with traditional artistry, it is a unique collector's piece as well as a distinguished decorative work for interior spaces.

Installation Methods
Iznik tiles can be installed in various ways depending on their intended use and surface type:
- For decorative display, tiles may be placed inside a wooden frame or mounted onto transparent plexiglass panels and hung on the wall.
- When installing tiles on wall or floor surfaces (such as bathrooms, kitchens, or similar areas), the use of MasterTile FLX 24 or an equivalent flexible ceramic adhesive is recommended.
- During installation, it is important that no gaps (grout lines) are left between tiles, ensuring a seamless and unified appearance.
- After the adhesive application, any excess bonding material between tiles should be cleaned, and the surface should be wiped once fully dried.
- If tiles are to be applied onto steel or metal constructions, an appropriate metal-compatible adhesive must be used.
This Iznik tile panel is entirely handmade and produced with a high quartz content in accordance with Ottoman-period techniques. The final layer is finished with a glossy glaze.
As it is hand-painted, slight variations in color tones may occur.
For multi-piece Iznik tile panels, wall installation is required.
It is intended for decorative purposes and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
A certificate of authenticity is included.
