Lizard and Dragonfly Tile, Stretcher

A seamless tile texture with lizard and dragonfly tile arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 620 x 620 mm (24.4 x 24.4 inches) in total, with each individual tile measuring approximately 153 x 153 mm. The joints are filled with fine lime mortar and are 2 mm (0.1 inches) in width.

Earthenware tile design with lizards and dragonflies, painted by Bert Nienhuis c. 1900. Sourced from the Rijksmuseum.

This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
