very unique and visually striking original cream-colored decommissioned museum exterior terra cotta fragment salvaged from a notable 19th or early 20th century building (research ongoing). the square-shaped panel contains a custom-built welded joint steel frame designed to mount the panel against a wall for display. the strongly geometric design contains elements used in burnham and root, sullivan and adler, or perhaps schmidt, garden and martin buildings. the oversized terra cotta block remains in great overall condition. the finish is lightly speckled throughout.
