A square mottled reddish-brown stoneware tile features four cream-colored rectangular forms outlined in black jutting from the edges. These rectangles contain nested lines and a network of fine surface cracks. Small black drawings of five-petaled flowers and dot clusters are scattered across the warm surface. A central elongated cream oval contains a black dot cluster. The composition blends geometric elements with organic motifs across the glossy glazed surface.
