A patterned-tile roof (huawa ding) is a type of wall cap commonly found in traditional Chinese architecture, particularly in garden structures or small buildings. Its distinctive feature is the layered arrangement of plate tiles and cylindrical tiles to create various patterns. This design introduces intricate decorative elements to the otherwise flat walls of courtyards, thus enriching their architectural facades.
