Relief Tile "Alejandra"

Product Description

This Handcrafted Terracotta and Cobalt Relief Tile showcases a bold, symmetrical motif rooted in traditional Mexican design. Raised blue borders outline a radiant floral medallion made of flowing terracotta petal forms set in a square pattern. The central circle anchors the design, while the curved shapes extend toward each corner, forming a cross-like composition. The matte texture of the tile enhances its earthy character and the contrast between the burnt orange and deep blue glazes. With its tactile relief and strong geometry, this tile offers timeless elegance ideal for colonial entryways, rustic stair risers, or decorative accent walls.
