An antique cloisonné glazed ceramic tile depicting a cherub blowing a trumpet, surrounded by five birds in flight. The design is executed in a naive and colorful style, with a glossy glaze in vibrant hues—deep blue for the background, pink and pastel blue for the cherub, and emerald green for the birds. The cloisonné gilt outlines delicately highlight each motif. The piece is signed "MA" in the glaze in the lower right corner. It is likely a piece from a workshop or by a French ceramic artist active in the first half of the 20th century. The unglazed reverse shows traces of former wall mounting.
