Figure 29 Tiles, Holland, 1640–1700. Delftware. 5"–5.11" x 5"–5.11" (thickness concealed by a frame). This eight-tile aquarium comprises a sea giraffe, two horses (one with braided mane), a unicorn, a dolphin, a shark, a walrus, and a winged dragon. Three of these yellow-body tiles have spider corners, the rest have oxheads; most have dual pinholes. The dragon has its pinholes far in from the corners (.98") and is arguably the earliest of the group. |
