Relief Tile "Baroque Sol Medallion"

Product Description

The "Baroque Sol Medallion" tile is a radiant expression of ornamental Mexican tilework, sculpted in high relief and arranged in a harmonious four-tile composition. At its center, a concentric medallion bursts outward with scalloped sun motifs, enclosed by a ring of golden arches and an undulating framework of acanthus-like scrolls. Rich cobalt blue fields contrast elegantly with warm terracotta and antique ivory glazes, while small triangular accents in bold red mark the cardinal directions. The visible high-relief texture and the image showing four tiles together underscore its intricate craftsmanship and the dimensional character of its design. This tile is ideal for decorative wall features, altar backdrops, or architectural medallions in colonial-style spaces.

Regional Design Influences

The "Baroque Sol Medallion" tile draws heavily from Spanish Colonial baroque ornamentation, with its curved leaf forms and regal symmetry. It reflects the grandeur of historic tile murals from churches and haciendas in central Mexico, particularly from the artisan town of Dolores Hidalgo.
