Tegel uit het kasteel van Breda c. 1500 - 1550

This is a fragment of a ceramic tile, dating back to the 16th century, from the castle of Breda in the Netherlands. The tile is made of earthenware and decorated in a simple yet elegant design of green leaves and a circular motif in the center. Though the artist is unknown, the tile is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this small but significant piece of Dutch history.
