Tile Design Details
The central medallion combines terracotta and golden leaf-like shapes framing a green and blue core. Cobalt and sky blue accents radiate outward in fan-like shells, while curved terracotta and golden flourishes decorate the border. High-relief texture casts subtle shadows, enriching the tile with depth and movement. When repeated, the medallion aligns seamlessly for continuous rhythm.
