Materials:earthenware
Technique:glazed, moulded,
Dimensions:Height: 5 centimetres Length: 19 centimetres Width: 16 centimetres
Description:
Earthenware wall tile with moulded decoration, cream, brown, green and yellow glazes. This wall tile shows stepped rays of light alternating in cream, yellow, green and brown with a lobed yellow border on a green ground (see BM Franks 921). The corners of the tile are chipped but glaze dribbles down each side confirm that the curved shape was intentional rather than being a broken section of another tile.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:A torn nineteenth-century paper label on the side of the tile records the following words in ink: ‘completed AD 1430 destroyed AD 1858’. This is a reference to the ‘Da Bao’en si’ and suggests that the tile was picked up in Nanjing in the late nineteenth century, after 1860 and before 1876.
