TILE WITH ANGELS
Middle of the 18th Century

This magnificent tile is among a group of wall-tiles, which were used to decorate one of the St. James Church's chapels in Jerusalem. There is a medallion in middle enclosed by yellow, blue and purple colored twists. An oyster motif was placed on each of two sides of this medallion. On the corners of the tile there are four bodiless angle figures of which the heads and wings were drawn only.
