Archaeological supervision conducted in 2013 on Jagiellońska, Bracka, and Św. Anny Streets in Kraków resulted in the discovery of over 250 pieces of stove tiles. Among them, of particular note is a fragmentarily preserved tile featuring the representation of a young man, found in the area of Jagiellońska Street. The surviving part of the representation comprises the head and a fragment of the torso. The tile was very carefully made, which proves the high skills of the craftsman. The head and the costume have a clear modelling, and the whole is covered with a multi-colour glaze. The young man’s costume is typical of the era. It consists of a shirt, a caftan, a tie with a contrasting collar, and a beret with feathers. Multi-coloured tiles with figural representations were characteristic of the ceramic production of the first half of the 16th century. The find adds to the collection of figural tiles originating from the area of Kraków
