Alhambra Mosaic Tile – 16.8
Handmade Moroccan Zellij Panel
The Alhambra Mosaic Tile – 16.8 is a masterful recreation of the tilework seen in the palaces of Granada and Fez. Each tessera is hand‑cut from Fez natural clay, glazed in rich tones and available in any combination from our standard Moroccan color palette, then assembled into a seamless geometric composition by skilled Moroccan artisans.
Historic Inspiration
The Mexuar Hall in the Alhambra, built under Sultan Isma’il I and remodeled by Muhammad V, featured intricate zellij mosaics with star patterns, geometric grids, and heraldic motifs. Our Alhambra Mosaic Tile – 16.8 draws on this Nasrid craftsmanship, echoing its mathematical precision and ornamental beauty (Wikipedia).
