Summary
Floor tile - Design 76 - The tile is large and plain with a dark green glaze. Potentially 14th to 15th century. This design is not in the Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report. The tile is in good condition. There are some areas, particularly one side, where some residue is stuck to the face of the tile. There is a thick layer of shiny glaze across the tile, but there are several patches where the glaze has worn enough for it to become dull. The top surface is pitted. There are patches of glaze on two of the sides and chunks of mortar on all four sides. On the reverse is a single, central scoop.
