Small quadrangular tile decorated with a hare on the smooth background and slightly convex towards the edges. The animal is represented in the act of eating a leaf composed of three sloping lobes. The motif is free, not inscribed in the branch. This type of brick decoration finds comparisons with Venetian pieces and with others from the Ravenna and Pomposa areas. The piece is of Venetian production from the 11th century.
