Tiles of the Hall of the Ambassadors
Pictures by Jules Goury and Owen Jones
Yellow star rosettes interlace with deep green and teal in this tile mosaic from the Alhambra in Granada, drawn by Jules Goury and Owen Jones. The pattern comes from the walls of the Hall of the Ambassadors, the palace's throne room, where these tiles were laid in the 1300s. For someone who loves art, travel and beautiful pattern.
