Original fragment of Mudejar coffered ceiling belonging to the ceiling of the Church of the Savior of Sagunto (Valencia), dated at the beginning of the 14th century. It preserves geometric and floral polychrome decoration, with period patina.

On the back it has the original label certified by Felipe Mateu y Llopis (1901-1998), renowned Valencian archivist and historian, who attributed its origin to the coffered ceiling of the church, with reference to the number 60/61 of the magazine Valencia Atracción (April 1935).

The original coffered ceiling was dismantled and dispersed at the beginning of the 20th century; some fragments are preserved in the Museum of History of Valencia and in international collections, the present coffered ceiling being one of the few documented examples in private hands.
