AN IMPERIAL YELLOW GLAZED CERAMIC 'DRAGON' TILE, DISHUI
China, Ming dynasty, Yongle period
Polylobed profile, on the upper surface a relief decoration of a flying five-clawed dragon.

This rare tile most likely comes from the roof of one of the buildings in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and was therefore intended for the emperor and his court.
