Description: | A Medieval ceramic fragment of a decorated floor tile dating 1350s-1390s. The fragment comprises one corner of the tile. The upper surface of the tile is decorated with a pattern picked out in white slip and covered with a lead glaze. The glaze extends patchily down one of the sides as well. The pattern is part of a four-tile circular pattern and the fragment shows a linear border enclosing a bird in profile to the left of a fleur-de-lys. Only a tiny fragment of the pattern below the circular border remains; the fragment comprises an oval which may be the central part of another fleur-de-lys or it might be a petal from a flower. The fabric is orange and oxidised throughout with grog inclusions in the matrix.Dimensions: thickness: 23.42mm; weight: 170.65g.
