The decoration appears to depict Han Xin, a historical Chinese military figure, though attribution has not been independently verified and is offered for collector reference only.
This tile displays characteristics commonly associated with hand-decorated production, including visible brushwork, glaze crazing, slight surface variation, and minor manufacturing irregularities. The decoration appears hand-painted rather than machine-produced.
The tile has a noticeable curved form and does not sit perfectly flat. An impressed mark is present on the reverse side.
Measures approximately 5 inches wide.
