History:Decorated ceramic tile
From HandWiki
Decorated ceramic tiles are paleochristian ceramic bricks with relief made to mold, used in the architecture of Late Antiquity in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, with two production centres identified in the valley of the Guadalquivir.[1] The decorative motifs are mostly religious (in special, the Chi Rho),[2] although there are also zoomorphic and vegetal examples. Its exact functionality is not known, although its use has been proposed as funerary or, more recently, as ornamental elements in ceilings.[1]
