Since ancient times, the wheat sheaf has been a recognizable symbol of the harvest. Henry C. Mercer originally created this special tile to represent the agricultural vitality of his native Bucks County. The simple, outlined design of the tile shows bundled stalks of grain set within a diagonal square, with a flourish of leaves in each outer corner.
