A resized image of A Post Medieval polychrome tin-glazed (Delftware) tile fragment (17th– early 18th century AD).

A Post Medieval polychrome tin-glazed (Delftware) tile fragment (17th– early 18th century AD). The fragment includes one corner of the decorated ‘medallion’ style tile. Originally the tile was square, only one corner remains now. Similar examples within the Museum of London collections depict natural scenes of animals and birds stood on grass. This tile has a similarly natural scene, of which only the back legs of an animal remain. This is enclosed within a circular border of blue, white and purple (manganese) concentric rings against a white background with five blue lozenge-shaped petals in the corner outlined in a darker blue.
