    I found this old tile at a garage sale with some artwork of a man and a women reading a text. I was curious if anyone knew who this was of or what religion or maybe around what time it was made? I know nothing about it other than it was a ladies grandmother's before she passed away. Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks so much

      I wonder if it isn't a Coptic icon from Egypt. Example:
      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon#/media/File%3AMenas.jpg

      As far as age or authenticity, I can't say. More than likely not from the 5th century.
