Product Description
This Mexican Lizard Motif Ceramic Tile brings bold contrast and folk-art simplicity into architectural spaces that value strong symbols and clean design. A deep green field grounds the composition, while an ochre-orange lizard moves diagonally across the surface, creating energy without visual clutter. The solid, matte colors and simplified silhouette make the motif easy to read from a distance and effective in both small accents and repeated layouts. Use this tile to introduce warmth, movement, and regional character in kitchens, bathrooms, patios, or Spanish-inspired interiors.
