The item is a Custom Printed Map Tile accessory, which is designed for minifigures. This is a custom accessory featuring a detailed printed military campaign map. This map specifically depicts the 1944 Allied deployment at the Anzio beachhead in Italy. It shows the coastal landing area (the blue-shaded sea) and the defensive perimeter (the thick blue line) established by Allied forces after their amphibious landing.
Background: The real Battle of Anzio (code-named Operation Shingle) began with an Allied amphibious landing in January 1944, during the Italian Campaign of World War II. The goal was to outflank the German Gustav Line. However, after the landing, the Allied forces were quickly contained by a strong German counter-attack, and a static, brutal front line was established around the beachhead, as this map depicts, which held for months.
