The artwork itself belongs to the Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, dating back to the XVI century. The tile depicts a female figure, representing an allegory of Africa. This abstract concept is symbolized through various elements incorporated into the design. A majestic horse stands beside her, emphasizing her connection with terrestrial life and mammals. As vertebrates roam around her feet, it highlights Africa's rich biodiversity. The female figure wears a headdress that reflects both civilian and military influences, suggesting different aspects of African culture and history. Her attire also includes religious accessories, showcasing the significance of spirituality in this region. This bas relief tile not only captures fashion and clothing trends from Renaissance Europe but also serves as a testament to its artistic expression during this period.
