Description

Ceramic tile, square. On a white background, tile has an image in blue of Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane. A man knees, head tilted up toward rays of light, a look of despair on his face. He is surrounded by a landscape of trees, bushes and hills, with a rock-face to his side. Sky is cloudy. He wears no shoes, yet a shoe sits to his front. A snail rests behind him. Image is surrounded by a circular border, and ox-head motifs decorate the corners of the tile. Top surface is glazed and shiny; sides and bottom are undecorated.
