Painted Tin-Glazed Earthenware Tile Sherd

Two mended and very lightly burned tin-glazed refined earthenware tile sherds with blue painted decoration over white glaze on one surface. The sherds have a light gray to yellow colored body. Due to the size and damage to the sherd, the painted pattern cannot be determined. The tile has one straight edge.
