A late 19th century Renaissance style terracotta tile decorated with two rampant heraldic lions. It is spuriously marked with the date ‘1598’, more likely dating between 1875 and 1900.
The relief decoration is in good condition after more than a century of use, making a brilliant collector’s piece for historic display.
A similar example can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Good structural condition. Chips, nibbles and surface wear. Traces of mortar to reverse.
