Black and white tile with a picture of a man and woman sitting on a bank, surrounded by foliage, and a sheep or dog lying on the ground. The man on the left wears a hat and a short-sleeved shirt with loose shorts. The woman on the right wears a long dress and a hat. She holds a long object. They sit on the edge of what appears to be a body of water. A decorative border surrounds the image. The tile design is titled "Tile" by John Sadler.
