Individual type · partial
Flat stove tile is held by Székely National Museum. Museum description: Flat stove tile with floral motifs. The piece is crafted symmetrically along both the horizontal and vertical axes.
In the centre is a flower from which eight floral stems emerge. Those at the edges are shorter, directed toward the edges. The six flowers are divided into groups of three: three are on the upper part of the tile, pointing upwards, and the other three are on the lower part of the tile, pointing downwards. Two flowers pointing up and down are tulips, while the four arranged diagonally are roses. The tile is brown, unglazed.
The piece, broken into three fragments at some point, has been treated and glued together. The museum record gives measurements length: 38.5 cm; width: 25.5 cm. 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.
