The image depicts a rectangular, light-brown tile. The tile features a design consisting of two identical symmetrical patterns side by side. Each pattern consists of a stem with two curved lines on either side that form a spiral shape, with a small circle at the end of each spiral. The tile has rounded corners and a raised edge, with small raised dots at each corner and in the center of the short sides. The background of the image is light gray. The tile is titled "Tile" by "J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works."
