Product Description
This Talavera Mexican Kitchen Scene Tile Mural measures approximately 36 x 28 inches and is handcrafted in Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico from 63 individually hand-painted 4x4 inch ceramic tiles with a glossy lead-free Talavera glaze. Its warm domestic composition depicts two women engaged in traditional food preparation, one working at a clay oven and the other grinding corn on a metate, surrounded by rustic pottery, baskets, utensils, and hanging chili peppers.
