Showing biblical scenes in relief; remains of coloured glaze. 1.67 kg total, 12 x 8.5 - 13 x 9 cm
Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection.
The scenes could be interpreted as a representation of the slaughter of the innocents, the sacrifice of a bull, the Baptism of Christ, and a naval battle. The latter, if concerning the history of the Jewish people, could depict the battle of the Sea of Galilee of 68 A.D. The tiles were probably part of a bigger complex related to the history of the Jewish and Christian people. -
