This is another view of the shrine area. The floor is being resurfaced in gravel washout with a glazed terra cotta trim. The image of the Holy Family is inside the arched niche. This image is on glazed Portuguese tiles and replaces an older piece from Europe which has been damaged and degraded. The original piece is undergoing conservation and will be kept indoor at Mirador Villa because it is quite fragile.
The replacement image came from a ceramics and tile shop in Macau, which specializes in Portuguese tiles and azulejos. The new image has a border of azulejos, terra cotta, and floral tiles from Mexico.
