Tile

The tile is incomplete; one of the corners is missing. It is square-shaped. The edge is slightly beveled. There are traces of glaze on the back, as well as on the rim. The body is beige and hard; the decoration is hand-painted in blue. It is of the rural landscape type. Painted in the center of the tile, it is surrounded by a double ring and consists of a group of buildings on a terrace, flanked by a fence; plants are painted on a terrace in the foreground, and the sky features a few clouds. The four corners of the tile are adorned with the same geometric motif, consisting of four beads with solid cores arranged in a square, from which scrolls emerge.
