Roof-Tile End with Auspicious Inscription
The image depicts a circular, weathered, dark brown roof-tiles end with a raised design. The object has a raised outer rim and a slightly recessed inner area. In the center is a small circle surrounded by a ring of small dots, from which four lines extend to the edges. These lines divide the object into four sections. Each section contains a different set of raised characters. The object appears to be made from clay or ceramic and has a rough texture. It is mounted on a light-colored wall, possibly a display board, with small metal brackets at the top and bottom. The title of the object is "Roof-Tile End with Auspicious Inscription" and it is by an unknown artist.
