Square ceramic tile, decorated in underglaze blue with a pastoral scene featuring a small flock of sheep in a stylized landscape enclosed within a double-lined circular border. The composition is typical of Dutch or Northern French Delft production with simplified, linear rendering and restrained use of space. The tile is set into a later brass frame with paw-form corners, likely adapted in the 19th or early 20th century for use as a trivet or wall plaque.
Good condition, surface wear, minor glaze abrasions, and edge losses are consistent with age and use.
