Details

This box flue tile is based on a find that is now part of the British Museum's collection. 

Box flues were set into the walls of some Roman buildings to allow the movement of hot air from an underground hypocaust to flow through the walls.  This would heat the walls and create a lovely, warm room.    

The decoration is applied to clay slabs using a wooden roller before constructing the box shape by hand.  Although very decorative, the designs were not intended to be visible within the room, their purpose was purely functional as it created a texture to which the mortar would better adhere.
