The image showcases an exquisite example of architectural decoration – a circular stone rosette embedded in a building façade. The rosette is executed in relief stone carving technique and framed by a massive stone arch that integrates seamlessly with the brick masonry of the wall.
The central element of the composition is the number "61," elegantly carved inside a circular medallion. Surrounding it is an intricate floral composition consisting of five roses symmetrically arranged in a circle. The roses are detailed with clearly defined petals creating a three-dimensional effect. Numerous carved leaves complement the composition, filling the space between the roses and giving the entire element an organic quality and natural plasticity.
The rosette itself is made of sandstone or limestone with a warm ochre hue, contrasting with the lighter stone framing and the texture of the brick wall. Such a decorative element is characteristic of Neo-Gothic or Eclectic styles from the late 19th to early 20th century, when architects actively used detailed ornamentation to give individuality to urban buildings.
The execution technique demonstrates the high craftsmanship of the masons and sculptors of that time. Despite possible temporal damage, the rosette has retained the clarity of lines and expressiveness of forms, which indicates the quality of the original execution and materials used.
