The Knight and the Lady

A two-part relief mosaic on the end walls of a single-storey commercial building (a store) at Muncești 162A in the Botanica sector. One panel shows a man — a seated figure with a stylized harp and a sun-disc, on an ornate throne — and the other a dancing woman wrapped in flowing ribbons beside a radiant sun-medallion. The palette is restrained, dominated by yellow, green and blue with touches of pink and cream, which earned it the local nickname "The Knight and the Lady." Made in the late 1960s, it is listed in Moldova's register of public monumental art (code C-A-mc-021).
