Hîrtopul Mare former-bus-stop mosaic

Sign in to check in

The wall of a former bus stop on Calea Orheiului, at the main intersection in Hîrtopul Mare, Criuleni district. The shelter itself is gone, but the mosaic wall survives: a long ceramic-tile panel with a young woman in folk costume holding grape clusters on a russet medallion ringed in blue, flanked by geometric fields in the folk-"carpet" idiom (brown, white and blue checks). It is a separate work from the mosaic in the neighbouring village of Hîrtopul Mic. The author and year are unrecorded. The coordinates are those of the village.
