Around the star is a blue chain-like border with flowers at the corners. A border around the entire design is yellow. Raised grids throughout the back were made by the clay manufacturer. Stamped in the clay at the center of the back is "MADE IN ITALY." The tile, which has the manufacturer's catalog number of 427, was reproduced for resale at The Willows bed and breakfast in Palm Springs where the original design can be found.
