Ember Tail - Orange Animal Relief in Teal Tile

A stylised orange animal, like a fox or squirrel, sits in profile as a raised relief with turquoise eyes and a large feathered tail. It is surrounded by teal and green rectangular tiles and leaf-shaped pieces set into a weathered, stone-like wall. The surface is covered in swirling ripples that give it a painterly, watery look.

A warm orange animal with turquoise eyes glows against cool teal tiles and weathered stone, and a rippled, liquid-looking surface makes the whole wall seem to shimmer. Most animal art is a photo of a creature in nature. This is a sculpted figure set into a tiled wall, so it reads as craft, colour and surface as much as a subject. Someone who wants an orange-and-teal accent that is not abstract, and not a stock wildlife print, can picture this one straight away.
