Description – Analysis of the Type, Style & Iconography :
Mosaic with a central sculpture on the facade of High School 140 “Ivan Bogorov”. The central decoration, composed of a panel with metal elements attached, is surrounded by a mosaic of the “decorative plastic lining type”. Affixed to the facade using a cement solution, this mosaic is crafted from natural limestone tesserae, cut into modular shapes of varying sizes and thicknesses. The surfaces display uneven brown coloring, a result of the application of a patination solution.
