#4799. Decorative Art Nouveau Facade Mascaron with Floral Motifs

The image shows a detailed architectural element in the form of a sculptural mascaron, executed in Art Nouveau or Neoclassical style. This is a relief depiction of a face surrounded by decorative elements, which is likely part of a building's facade ornamentation.

The mascaron is made of a light-colored material, presumably plaster or stone, and demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship in the detailing. The face is surrounded by an elaborate framing of stylized floral motifs, resembling sunflowers or daisies with clearly defined petals. The upper part is adorned with a distinctive crown or diadem with floral elements, while the lower part is framed with decorative garlands or wreaths of stylized leaves.

This type of decorative element was often used on building facades from the late 19th to early 20th century as both functional and aesthetic ornamentation, frequently placed above windows, doorways, or on cornices. Such mascarons not only adorned the building but could also carry symbolic meaning, often representing various allegorical figures or natural elements.
