Description – Analysis of the Type, Style & Iconography :
The sgraffito is located on the facade of the community center which faces the village square. It was created with three layers of coloured plaster, applied consecutively from dark to light: black, ocher, and white. There is visible evidence that the white background was repainted, and there are some areas where the white layer was repainted with ocher (possibly a retouching by the artists). The artists signed the work with their initals “ГП” and “ХП” and the year 2012.
