This is a hand-carved cantera stone mantel. Check our website: www.saltillotileconnection.com/cantera/ -- we can create any design you like and there are several colors of cantera stone from which to choose. Rates are wholesale, much more affordable than what most people think. Here are some examples. To get a price, just contact us with dimensions.
