Ceramic tile, square. On a light grey background, tile has an image in maroon of a castle with a central tower, peaked rooves, and a chimney spewing a thick stream of smoke. Trees and a fence sit behind the buidings, and boats sail the waters to the side. The corners of the tile are decorated with a spider motif. Top surface of tile is glazed and shiny with shallow cracks in the glaze; sides and bottom are undecorated.
