Product description
Superb handcrafted Italian mosaic from Ravenna, a historical center of Byzantine mosaic art. This piece depicts a stylized bird, directly inspired by the famous decorations of the Basilica of San Vitale (6th century), a major reference point in Byzantine art. The “uccello fra i tralci” (bird among the foliage) motif is emblematic of this tradition. The composition is made of glass paste tesserae, blending deep shades of blue, green, and black, enhanced with luminous touches of gold that elegantly capture the light. The overall effect offers a depth and visual richness typical of Italian mosaic work. Framed in a simple metal frame, this piece is ready to hang and integrates perfectly into a refined, classic, or contemporary interior. Original label on the back: Ravenna (Italy) – Basilica di S. Vitale – “Uccello fra i tralci” (Bird among the shards) With the stamp of the local mosaic cooperative, guaranteeing its origin. Dimensions: Approximately 20 cm x 10 cm Condition: Very good overall condition. Note some slight irregularities and small missing pieces in some tesserae, characteristic of handcrafted work and without impacting the overall aesthetic. An authentic decorative piece, rich in history and craftsmanship, ideal for lovers of art, mosaics, or Mediterranean inspiration.
