Overview
This set of nine rare Biblical dates from the 17th century. They were fabricated in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. In the book 'Bibelfliesen - Bijbeltegels' by Jan Pluis the tiles are dated between 1625 and 1650. Each tile is decorated with 'spider' corner motifs and were most likely painted by the same artist.
