This is one of a set of floor tiles from Seville in Spain, which are decorated in cuenca seca, a technique in which the glazed elements of the design are separated by un-glazed ridges of clay. The bright colours and geometric patterns on the tiles are characteristic of the industry. Very few cuenca tiles have been found in England and this group of four, excavated from the site of the medieval church of All Hallows, Lombard Street in 1940, are rare and important finds.
