Comentarios:

Pisano-style tiles served primarily as wall decoration. They were produced in Seville in imitation of Italian wares by the early sixteenth century, and mark a shift from the Morisco (Christianized Moorish) Cuenca tile tradition to an Italian-influenced tradition. They do not appear in American sites until the last quarter of the 16th century. Pisano-style tiles average 12.75 centimeters per side and 1.6 to 1.9 centimeters in thickness.
