Tile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular stone tile with one rounded corner at the top and one broken corner on the left. The tile features a carved design divided into three sections. The top section contains a circle surrounded by radiating lines that extend to the edges. Below the circle are two symmetrical, curved lines on either side. The middle section features a chevron pointing downwards, flanked by two curved lines on either side. The bottom section has a similar design to the middle, but with the curved lines extending further down. The tile is made of a rough, gray stone. The background of the image is white. The title of the tile is "Tile" by an unknown artist.
