Summary
Floor tile - Design 60 - Fragment - The tile has two birds addorsed, either side of a thin stylised tree. The design is set diagonally. Potentially mid 13th to early 14th century. (Group F – Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report). The tile fragment is a corner piece and is in good condition. Most of the slip is present, but patches are chipped. There is a very small patch of glaze on one of the bird tails. There is some very thin glaze on the body, along one side, and small patches of glaze along one edge. On the reverse is potentially part of a scoop.
