Zoar Pottery Roof Tile c. 1941

This is a drawing by Ralph Russell of a Zoar Pottery roof tile, dated c. 1941. The tile is a rectangular shape with an arched top. The surface of the tile is depicted in a reddish-brown hue. The image shows the tile with the inscription "ICA IM 1832", which appears to be a date and initials. This drawing serves as documentation of historical artifacts from the Zoar community, a communal society founded in Ohio in the 19th century. The Zoar Pottery is a significant aspect of their heritage, and this tile represents the community's craft traditions and dates back to their early years.
