#2064. Neo-Gothic Facade Portal with Heraldic Ceramic Panel

The image shows a richly decorated architectural element - a door or window portal in Neo-Gothic or Neo-Romanesque style, likely part of a religious or civic building. The central feature is a magnificent ceramic inset with a bright blue background displaying two heraldic winged lions (griffins) framing a central motif.

The stone framing of the portal demonstrates exquisite carving with floral and vegetal patterns. At the top, there is a crown or finial with floral ornamentation. The center of the composition features a protruding stone shield with a relief cross, indicating the Christian symbolism of the building.

Of particular interest is the combination of materials: sandstone or limestone for the architectural framing and vibrant ceramic tiles for the central panel. Such combination is characteristic of Art Nouveau or Catalan Modernisme from the late 19th to early 20th century. The carving details include rosettes, foliate motifs, and undulating lines, creating a rich textural composition that contrasts with the smooth masonry of the wall.
