An interesting and detailed hand painted ceramic tile 6 inches square of a heraldic crest. The tile has an off white glaze grading to pale blue at the margins. The crest is an ochre and white striped gold crowned lion rampant on a field of blue. Below it are the inscriptions ?ALTE UND NEUE HESSICHE TRACHTEN? and ?ERDMUTHE LUITJENS, HAMBURG?. The crest is 2 inches tall by 1 3/8 inches wide. The painting is attributed to Germany and is at least 50 years old. There are several markings on the back of the tile, most notably a ?G? within a wreath. We believe the markings refer to the tile alone and do not relate to the origin of the painting. There is no wear or damage but the glaze does show some fine crazing.
