Description

Ceramic tile, square. On a light grey background, tile has an image in maroon of the biblical story of Cain and Abel. A large man wielding a sword above his head grasps a falling figure by his clothing. The scene shows hills and a village in the background and flat, dusty land in the fore. Reference “Genesis 4:V:8:11” is written along the bottom of the scene. 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.
