DescriptionA square tile of tin glazed brownish earthenware. On the surface, a rider with his face hidden under a late 17th century hat, wearing what may be European military uniform, sits atop a horse with both forelegs off the ground and deep shadows on the back hoofs. The rider holds a thin lance. A small floral sprig is placed at all four corners.
