Boșcana mosaic bus shelter

Sign in to check in

A bus shelter on the central R4 road in Boșcana, beside the village park, in Criuleni district. Its back and side walls, along with the supporting pillars, are clad in a dense mosaic of small smalt tesserae and river pebbles: a field of stylized trees and leaf-rosettes in blue, ochre and brick-red — the rural take on the "tree of life" motif common on Soviet shelters across central Moldova. It is a separate work from the mosaic on the same village's House of Culture. No source records an author or year; like most roadside shelters it was made by local craftsmen and left unattributed. The coordinates are those of the village.
