Late 12th - early 13th c.
Complete monochrome square tile. The tile is warped and probably overfired. Moulded relief decoration representing a zoomachia, with a felid (possibly a lion or a dog) attacking a caprid or a hare. The felid seems winged, with two long thin wings on its back. The central motif is unframed. Similar to: IG6207; IG6241.
