Description: | Incomplete Late Medieval-post medieval bichrome, glazed ceramic floor tile AD.1300-1550. The tile is square and decorated with four fleur de lis, that radiate towards the corners. The Lis are decorated in a yellow/cream slip against the dark brown/red field. The glaze has degraded and is worn suggesting a substantial colour difference between the original appearance and its present condition. There is a small chip missing from one of the tiles corners but it is otherwise complete. There is a line in the glazing that cuts across the Tile face and exposes the red fabric below that may have been caused in the kilm by something lying on top of the tile. See Egan 1998, pg 37-40, for parallels and a discussion on dating.Length: 100.16mmWidth: 105.65mmThickness: 24.9mmWeight: 489gEgan, G. 1998 The Medieval Household - Medieval finds from excavations in London.
