Before us is an elegant fragment of mosaic decoration, likely an element of a façade in Art Nouveau or Art Deco style. The mosaic presents a colorful composition with flowing, fluid lines characteristic of the early 20th century Art Nouveau. The color palette includes bright accents of blue, golden, pink, and turquoise against the neutral sandy background of the wall.
The decorative element has an organic, asymmetrical form with curved lines reminiscent of botanical motifs. The composition is built on the contrast of colors and forms - circular elements of various sizes, smooth arcs, and spirals form a unified, harmonious pattern. Particularly expressive are the blue concentric circles and golden spiral elements.
The technique is characteristic of traditional mosaic work - small fragments of colorful ceramic tiles or smalti are arranged maintaining the fluidity of lines. In the lower part of the composition, there are stylized floral motifs in pink that create an elegant completion to the decorative element. Despite partial deterioration of the wall, the mosaic retains its expressiveness and demonstrates high craftsmanship in execution.
