Fragments of Blue and White Plates

Location: ZORITA DE LOS CANES — SPAIN

Origin: Found in various locations throughout the castle.

Significance: These fragments are a type of tableware that was highly prized during the 15th century. The blue motifs are not completely understood. Are they a simple decoration or is there a deeper meaning? Perhaps they are initials for a name or anagram of some family, sect, or society?
