A square wall tile, one part of a larger pattern unit. The motifs protrude from the plain base. The dividing, leafed bamboo stems and the parakeet bending its head in between are enriched with incised lines. The background is greenish yellow, the plants are light yellow, while the parakeet is covered with bottle green glaze. The thicker glaze gatherings in the indented lines creates a darker shade of the same colour.
