ROMAN TILE WITH DOG FOOTPRINTS

This large tile was discovered during excavations at the Roman town at Silchester in the 1890s. It was probably part of a tile floor or wall of a large building. When the tile was being made and before the clay was fired, its surface was given finger marks and a dog walked across it.
