Stove tile with the coat of arms of King Matthias Corvinus

Stove tile with the coat of arms of King Matthias Corvinus is held by National Museum of Transylvanian History. Museum description: Stove tile with a rectangular surface, covered with green glaze, with a conical tube attached to the reverse.

The tube has a slightly flaring opening, 16 cm in diameter. On the rectangular surface is depicted a small heraldic shield with vertical division and the emblems of the Kingdom of Hungary, surmounted by a crown. On this small crown rests a bird holding a ring in its beak (the Corvinus coat of arms). On either side of the composition, two rampant lions face each other, wearing crowns on their heads. The lions support a larger crown with their front paws, and with one of their hind paws the smaller crown on which the raven sits.

All elements are positioned on another, larger shield, which forms the general frame of the depiction and is provided in the upper part with a row of decorative triangles. The museum record gives measurements length: 20.5; width: 20; maximum diameter: 16. 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.
