Product Description
Geometric Medallion Relief Tile brings sculpted depth and warm earth tones together through a golden ochre base paired with raised burgundy and burnt terracotta forms. Dark green corner scrolls add movement, while small mustard yellow highlights brighten select geometric areas without overwhelming the palette. A central medallion holds a bold cross like structure inside a circular frame, then angled borders create a diamond layout that guides the eye outward with clear symmetry. The composition is fully self contained within one tile, so each piece reads complete whether used alone or repeated in a grid. Hand pressed, glazed, and kiln fired in traditional Mexican craftsmanship, this relief tile is ready for architectural feature work. Request details and order your tiles today.
Tile Pattern Analysis
A central medallion anchors the tile with balanced geometry on both axes. Angled borders form a diamond structure that controls rhythm and directs movement to the corners. When repeated, each tile stays complete while the medallions form an orderly field with consistent shadow play.

Regional Design Influences
This relief tile reflects Spanish colonial and Moorish influence through geometric medallion structure and disciplined symmetry. Its sun washed earth palette aligns with central Mexico architectural tile tradition. The corner scroll vocabulary and layered outlines also connect to Mediterranean decorative heritage adapted through Mexican craftsmanship.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans press clay in a relief mold to form raised geometry with pronounced height differences. Glaze colors are applied carefully within relief boundaries to keep separation crisp and clean. A smooth glazed finish enhances depth and supports strong contrast between raised shapes and the background plane. Kiln firing sets the glaze and preserves clarity, with small variation in edge softness and relief height valued as handmade character.

Installation
Dry lay a small section first to confirm spacing so the relief medallions sit evenly within the layout. Start from a reference line to keep the grid square and the diamond borders aligned. Maintain consistent joints so the medallions remain framed and the shadow rhythm stays orderly across the surface.
Cleaning
Wipe the glazed surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel, paying attention to raised edges where water can sit. Regular gentle wiping keeps the ochre base clear and preserves relief definition.
