This is the rating and price for Egyptian New Kingdom Faience Rosette Tile, 1998

Description : Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom, 20th Dynasty, ca. 1189 to 1077 BCE. A fine faience tile of a discoid form exhibiting a delicate rosette flower that was perhaps an inlaid ornament in a home or pharaonic palace. The circular tile features incredibly smooth, glazed surfaces while the topside bears 8 teardrop-shaped flower petals surrounding a protruding central bulge. The flower petals were perhaps adorned with a yellow pigment at one point, and traces of black pigment around the peripheries suggest just how attractive this tile was when first created.
