Two Nara-Heian period Roof Tile fragments
Two fragmented roof tiles excavated from a Nara-Heian era site alongside one from China, both decorated with floral motifs. Each was originally roughly 6 inches (15 cm) diameter. This is from a collection of scholar items we are currently offering from the estate of a Kyoto family involved in literati and art movements from the later Edo period on. It seems the owner had an affinity for comparing ancient Japanese items and Chinese items. Also being offered is a chinese stone age knife and a Japanese stone age knife.
