Description: | Fragment of a Medieval floor tile. The tiles were made by hand and are of the type known as inlaid or encaustic, referring to the decoration. The tiles were first stamped to leave an impression and then filled with a contrasting coloured liquid clay, white in this case. Once dry any excess clay was removed to reveal the design. The tiles were then covered with a glaze material and fired. Such tiles are usually only found in buildings of relatively high status. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
