red moroccan traditional zallije in square meters "m2"

A red traditional Moroccan zellige is a striking example of Moroccan craftsmanship. This type of tile is made from terracotta clay and glazed with a deep, vibrant red finish. The shade of red can range from earthy tones, reminiscent of Moroccan spices and desert landscapes, to more intense, jewel-like crimson hues. The red glaze often has a slight natural variation due to the handmade process, giving the tiles a dynamic, organic feel.

Each tile is typically small, hand-cut into precise geometric shapes such as squares, stars, or intricate polygons. The individual tiles are then meticulously assembled into patterns that showcase traditional Islamic art principles—symmetry, repetition, and balance. Common patterns in red zellige might include starburst designs, arabesques, or mashrabiya-inspired latticework. The deep red contrasts beautifully with the white or neutral grout lines, highlighting the delicate geometry.
