Stove tile is held by Archaeology and Museum Baselland. Museum description: Relief tile, bottle-green glazed, figure of Saint Matthew under an acanthus arch. He looks to the right (toward the Roman numeral VIII), with right standing leg, left free leg. In his right hand on a lectern he holds the Bible, in the left the teaching staff. He stands in an acanthus arch frame supported by 2 herms on pedestals, with further ornamentation in the spandrels from the arch to the tile frame. Maker unknown. Origin unclear. The museum record gives material recorded as ceramic. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
