Description

Color: Brown A square tile with a snail design, from the Critters series produced by RTK Studios, ca. 1990s. The piece, done with the black-line technique, has a border in dark brown with a lighter brown colored panel, with rounded corners. Inside the panel, over dark brown branches and leaves is a large snail. The shell is at the top in a greenish brown color with curving lines for the shell's border, while the body is at the lower section in a different shade of brown. For a shading effect, the point where the body and the shell meet, as well as much of the tentacles on the head are in a darker brown color. With little evidence of wear or damage, the artifact is in good condition.
