This is just so beautiful. Such a contrast between what is contained in the oval and the ornamentation outside it. Thank you for showing us this work of art, JM.

JM, it's a close up of a desiccated papaya trunk (same as image 8).

Who is the saint? Antonio?

Absolutely beautiful. It's not easy to see azulejos with othere colors added. Is this a matter of choice or of date?

Mirela said...

Wow! Does it represent anything related to the city, or is it just a decoration?

Beautiful tile work. The tile work you have shown us in a variety of places is all so gorgeous. It makes me think that this is an art that should be revived.

A lovely work of art indeed. Such a simple inset set off by the intricate scroll work around it.

Beautiful work. Reminds me of a room in a local castle I visited earlier this summer.

The scene in the middle is intriguing. What are the two figures looking at on the ground? It looks to me a bit like frog.
