Product Description
The Volcano Horses Mexican tile mural merges natural symbolism with rich Talavera artistry to tell a visually striking story across 70 hand-painted ceramic tiles. At the center of the scene, two horses stand face to face in a lush meadow, backdropped by a majestic erupting volcano—likely Popocatépetl. Flowing rivers, trees, and a luminous sky add depth and regional flair, while the mural is framed by ornate cenefa-style borders on all four sides. Handcrafted in Mexico using traditional Talavera glazing techniques, this mural is arranged in a 10×7 tile grid. Its refined brushwork, symbolic composition, and well-aligned grid make it an exceptional piece for kitchens, patios, alcoves, or boutique interiors. Every element—from the rosettes at the corners to the lifelike horses—contributes to a unified visual narrative rooted in Mexican ceramic traditions.
