The answer is: geometric designs in blue and turquoise.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Gold domes over red and black writing: This option does not accurately describe Persian tilework. While Persian architecture may feature domes, the specific combination of gold domes with red and black writing is not a characteristic of Persian tilework.

  2. Representations of historical narratives: Persian tilework is not primarily known for depicting historical narratives. While Persian art and literature often include historical themes, tilework is more focused on abstract and geometric patterns.

  3. Geometric designs in blue and turquoise: This is the correct answer. Persian tilework is renowned for its intricate geometric patterns, often featuring vibrant blue and turquoise colors. These designs are a hallmark of Persian art and architecture, reflecting the cultural emphasis on symmetry and beauty.

  4. Kufic inscriptions in green and white: While Kufic script is an important element in Islamic art, Persian tilework is more commonly associated with geometric patterns rather than inscriptions. Additionally, the specific color combination of green and white is not a defining feature of Persian tilework.
