Tile — 1290-1300

This tiles now consists of seven pieces which once made a complete square. A fragment is missing from the left vertical edge of the tile. The decoration has been created by inlaying white clay into the surface of the main body of the tile. There are two circular bands of white clay that delineate a roundel. At the centre of the roundel is a fantastic creature with four legs, a pronounced spine and a long tail. The creature is apparently depicted as if seen from above and looks to the left. The border between the two bands includes eight identical motifs of curling foliage equally spaced. The corners bordering onto the edge of the outer circle is also filled with a pattern of scrolling foliage.
