Similarity between these tiles indicates the Masters of Tabriz who worked in Bursa Yesil (Green) Complex. The chronological relations between them, reveal a significant route about the journey of Masters of Tabriz. Survey about the tile revetments, can be supported by sociocultural background based on history sources. This study suggests a proposal about career of the Masters of Tabriz by using art objects and history data.
