A large quantity of reclaimed terracotta ridge tiles housed within a weathered timber shipping crate. The tiles are of a half-round or hog-back profile, constructed from fired terracotta clay with a natural earthy orange-red finish. The collection shows a variety of surface textures consistent with reclaimed building materials, including areas of accumulated soot, moss, and lichen. The tiles are stacked within a heavy-duty softwood crate featuring diagonal cross-bracing and a slatted construction.

In the foreground, though not part of the primary lot, are two plastic trade bags containing sand. One bag features printed text reading Travis Perkins Building Sa Trade Pack in blue and white lettering. To the right of the crate are separate stacks of standard red building bricks.
