Bus-shelter mosaic, Chetrosu
A roadside bus shelter with a mosaic in Chetrosu, a commune seat in the Anenii Noi district of central Moldova. The open, slab-roofed pavilion has its rear wall fully clad in smalt: a geometric ornamental field of lozenges and stylised floral medallions in brick-red, deep blue, ochre and white, with a freer composition of curved forms, leaves and "fish" on a side pier. The work belongs to the Soviet tradition of rural mosaic bus stops — an everyday monumental art that decorated stops along Moldova's highways through the 1960s–80s. The village, a former German colony in Bessarabia, was called Chetrosu-Bâc until 1962 and had nearly 2,000 inhabitants at the 2004 census. The panel's author and year are undocumented: it is an anonymous village work, not listed in the „Mosaics of Moldova” inventory.
