Square-shaped wall tiles. The relief pattern is arranged on a lace-like base of tiny, horizontal dents. The two tiles only differ in the colouring. The stem of the leafy flower curves asymmetrically, the various curves continuing on the neighbouring tiles. The background is purple, the plant itself is green, while the blossom and the three buds are yellow. On the other tile, the background is green, the pattern is light brown, (for the continuation of the two-unit pattern, see Cat. No. 2.41).
