Description: | An incomplete medieval encaustic (painted and fixed through heat) floor tile. The tile is of an oxidised orange colour with white paint its upper surface. Two perpendicular straight edges survive to differing extents; the rest of the tile is broken. The upper and lower surfaces are abraded; the lower has a loss presumably formed before the tile was fired. A similar tile can be seen illustrated in Eames (1980, design ref. 2738). This latter design has been found in Winchester Cathedral and was manufactured at Otterbourne, Hampshire, in the very late 14th century. It features the same trefoil pattern within an inner circle, with three/four lines radiating from it to form arches. On this example, the pattern beyond has been lost. Based on the parallel found this tile would originally have been approximately 150mm squared; around half of it therefore remains. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
