This rectangular tile was used to border tiled wall surfaces. Its pattern created a continuous ornament line. There are patches of stylized flower stems, bending in and outwards, connected with a dynamically looped ribbon motif, between the light violet bordering stripes over the white base. The flower heads are shaded differently. The print is slightly patchy, not smooth.
