Zoar Pottery Roof Tile

Ralph Russell

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a rectangular vertical plaque with a rounded top. Engravings at the top include letters and a date. The sculpture is made from reddish-brown material, likely wood, with a weathered finish. The engravings show the letters "IOM" and the date "1682." The plaque's surface has uneven color tones, likely due to aging or exposure, with darker and lighter areas. The sculpture appears small and could be intended for display, possibly in a historical or memorial setting.
