A Hispano Moresque wall charger, produced during the 19th century.
We see in this piece a central motif of a mythical creature, with the head of man upon a winged, four legged body. Eminating from this we see traditional Islamic patterning, reminiscent of arabic Keffiyeh designs. We also see many floral motifs, which are common in Hispano Moresque artworks.
