Tile

J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular blue-grey tile with an intricate design. The tile is rectangular and has a raised border around its edges. The border consists of two parallel lines running along the top and bottom edges. The design on the tile features interconnected loops and curved lines that form a continuous pattern. The loops are woven together in a complex arrangement, with some sections thicker than others. The entire design spans the width of the tile. The background behind the tile transitions from light grey on the left side to white on the right side. A slight shadow is visible beneath the tile, indicating it is raised slightly from the surface. The tile is by J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works.
