Description: | A Medieval ceramic fragment of a floor tile (13th - 14th century). Only one corner remains of this square tile. It is decorated on the upper surface with a pattern in white slip and covered with a lead glaze. The pattern is part of a four-tile pattern and the surviving section shows a quarter of a circular frame with a central square frame with two projecting tendrils which curl inwards. There is a triangular section projecting from the internal edge of the circular frame with a pellet inside. There is a floral motif just outside of the circular frame with an annulet to each side. This tile formed one element from a patterned pavement where adjacent tiles would have completed the semi-circular motifs to form circles with central circular patterns. There are stray traces of glaze on the other surfaces from the firing process. The fabric has a grey core with red margins and red external surfaces.Dimensions: thickness: 19.95mm; weight: 127.38g.
