Product Description
The Relief Tile "Mateo" presents a bold geometric high-relief design inspired by traditional Mexican patterns. At its center, two mirrored cobalt blue spirals form a striking motif, framed by sandy beige lines that emphasize their angular rhythm. Above, green and brown triangular accents provide earthy balance, while a black border grounds the composition with strong contrast. The rustic sand background enhances the vibrancy of the colors, allowing the relief details to cast subtle shadows and depth. Perfect for stair risers, backsplashes, fireplaces, or accent borders, this handcrafted tile combines Pre-Hispanic geometric influence with Talavera artistry. Each kiln-fired piece is hand-painted, ensuring authentic variation and timeless character, ideal for rustic, colonial, or eclectic interior design projects.
