[Detailed Image Description: A ceramic tile in the shape of a six-pointed star. It’s a lusterware piece, painted in iridescent gold-brown over a white ground. In the center of the tile is a seated figure dressed in white clothing patterned with clusters of three dots. The figure has a round white face, framed by long dark hair. They appear to be holding an object of some kind, though it’s unclear what the object is.]
