Ceramic tile, square. On a white background, tile has an image in maroon of a biblical scene showing Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane. A kneeling man faces a cloud inside which sits a chalice, his hands clasped before his chest. In the background is a body of water, a hilly landscape, and the sad figures of two disciples in the distance. Image is surrounded by a circular border, and ox-head motifs decorate the corners of the tile. Top surface is glazed and shiny; sides and bottom are undecorated.
