One of four Delft tiles from the Drayton Hall Collection that are on display at the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum in the new exhibit, A Rich and Varied Culture: The Material World of the Early South. The four were chosen from a set of 48 tiles thought to be original fireplace tiles from one of the second floor bedrooms of Drayton Hall. The tiles are tin-glazed earthenware with hand-painted cobalt blue decoration of biblical motifs. This particular tile depicts the crucifixion of Christ. The tiles were most likely made in the Netherlands, c. 1730-1750. Gift of Mr. Charles H. Drayton, III and the late Mrs. Martha Drayton Mood.
