Description

Large piece of kiln(?) lining with pieces of ceramics (blue and light green) fused to the surface. Lining reddish-brown in colour with some small yellow inclusions in the fabric. Thin layer of blue/black material on underside, with what appears to be a droplet that has set. Material shiny, likely was a liquid, perhaps a glaze, that has since solidified.
