Uncommon, and somehow irregular, design made of tiles with different shapes, on the arches above the interior red doors of the church I posted on yesterday. You can see a very similar design on the bottom shot of the previous post. However, if you look carefully, that one is kind of fake as it is painted on square tiles. I guess it might have been made when the church was restored after the 1755 Earthquake, or even more recently.

These little imperfections take nothing away from it's beauty JM, the colours here are simply marvellous.
WOW ! Amazing !
The craftsmanship is amazing. Once again, there is so much detail to look at it is almost dizzying.
makes me dizzy!
The intricacy and the beauty far out weighs any small imperfections, JM! Incredible! And another breathtaking capture! Have a great week!
Is beautiful, the little imperfection is just a sign of its history.
Fantastic, so original.
Awesome, such as the photos in your previous post.
There is "mosaic with his sons".

Fascinating and beautiful...and there's no way I could tell a fake from a real one!
Wow, gorgeous!!!
You really studied those tiles to notice that difference.
The tiles are just amazing.
Irregular but also perfect in its own way, great picture!
I love seeing these Portuguese tiles, a real treat. Thank you!
I love the colors and the different patterns.
Estos artistas eran geniales.
Un saludo y feliz semana santa.
This design is like a peacock's tail. The peacock, as you know, is the sign of the Shahs of Persia. The whole church certainly has an Eastern influence. A delightful place and than koi for having another go at photographing it. With a place like this, it is not always the photography that is the most important thing, it is just marvellous for people in far flung corners of the world to be able to see it at all.
Still, it's awesome detail!

very nice details :)
Gorgeous! I was baptized in a church named after Our Lady of Remedies, but it's nothing like this!
Restoration over the years can be done with greater or lesser artistry. . .This place is still nonetheless breathtaking.
