## Image Caption

Although the use of glazed tiles and colored paste inlays is known from as early as the [Old Kingdom](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Old_Kingdom/), the apogee of their use came during the [New Kingdom](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/New_Kingdom/). An almost identical frieze of lotuses, other flowers, and grape clusters is known to have adorned a [wall](https://www.worldhistory.org/wall/) of a [palace](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/palace/) of the Pharoah [Ramesses](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/ramesses/) III (c. 1184-1153 BCE) at Tell el Yahudiya in Lower [Egypt](https://www.worldhistory.org/egypt/). It is likely that this frieze was made during the same time period and perhaps the same place. (Brooklyn Museum, New York.)
