Bus-stop mosaic, Condrița
A mosaic bus shelter near the village of Condrița, on the Chișinău–Leușeni road (the M1 route), in the forests of the Codru. The panel, worked in pebbles and tesserae, shows stags and a tree of life — folk motifs common on village stops; the shelter's gable carries the name „CONDRIȚA”. The work belongs to the Soviet genre of rural mosaic bus stops: along the roads of the Moldovan SSR, stops were turned through the 1960s–80s into small pictures of smalt and ceramic, and Moldova preserves one of the densest concentrations of the kind. Condrița, a small village of under 600 people administered by the Chișinău municipality, is known above all for the „Saint Nicholas” Monastery, a forest-hidden foundation reopened in 1993. The mosaic's author and year are unrecorded.
