Contrast does a lot of work on a small altar tile, and this black-and-gold Pentagram piece leans into it directly. A gold-etched five-pointed star sits against a black background, silver-plated over solid brass underneath, giving the whole piece a sharper, more graphic look than the lighter-finished tiles in this collection.
Because the design is etched rather than printed, the Pentagram holds its crisp edges through years of regular handling instead of wearing thin the way a surface print eventually does. The solid brass core beneath the plating also means the tile has real weight to it, not just a thin decorative coating over a lightweight base.
At 3.75 inches across, it's sized for practical altar use: large enough to serve as a clear focal point, compact enough to travel with in a small kit. Set it at the center of your layout, or use it as a trivet beneath a warm candle holder or incense burner, protecting whatever surface sits underneath.
Keep it looking sharp with a soft cloth and light, regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals that can dull the plating over time. It's best kept indoors, away from prolonged humidity, which helps the silver plating resist tarnish for longer between cleanings.
Its compact size and strong contrast also make it a fitting gift for anyone who prefers bold, graphic design over softer tones, a small piece with real visual impact rather than a subtle background accent, and one that reads clearly whether it's displayed on a busy altar or on its own.
For anyone comparing it to the other tiles in this line, this one sits at the higher-contrast end, closer in tone to the black Metatron's Cube cloth than to the lighter silver and white pieces, so it's worth choosing based on how it will sit alongside your existing decor.
Treat it as decorative first and trivet second: it can hold warm items safely, but shouldn't take direct open flame on its surface.
