of Puebla polychrome style tiles, made with red clay and covered with yellow tin glaze and no evidence of tripod burns.

It has a polychrome glazing with yellow background and feather-like embossed plant decorations in cobalt blue. In the center, ther is a rampant or ascending lion motif in yellow and blue, which appears to be incomplete.

The yellow background is characteristic of the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century. The cobalt blue plant-like feathers match other pieces of the earthenware collection that have the same yellow tin-glaze as a background. It is located on the wall used as a mural.
