Tile

J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Square tile with white background and gray pattern. The pattern consists of a repeating design of circles with teardrop shapes extending from the center. Four partial circles, one in each corner of the tile, and one full circle in the center. The teardrop shapes in each circle are pointed towards the center of the tile. The circles are connected by curved lines that form a four-pointed star shape. Small dark specks scattered throughout the tile.
