Square tile with a relief design of a mythical creature, likely a hippogriff, with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The tile is predominantly dark brown with orange-brown patches. The creature faces left, with its mouth open and appears to be emerging from curved lines that may represent foliage or waves. The tile has a rough, textured surface and chipped edges.
