Description: | A fragment of a later medieval glazed clay tile. The tile was probably (right-angled) triangular in form originally, judging by the angle of a glazed side and a second side which features traces of lime mortar. The very fact that one of the sides, as well as the upper face, is coated in lead slip suggests that this was not a floor tile. Whether it acted as a architectural fragment or a step riser is impossible to assert. The clay is reddish brown with a number of (possibly grog) inclusions. The glaze is a light green colour and, as stated, is applied to two perpendicular faces. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1350
