House-of-Culture mosaic, Hrușova

A Soviet mosaic on the wall of the House of Culture in Hrușova, the seat of the commune in Criuleni district (first attested in 1698, on the Ichel river). The panel shows a monumental female figure in stylised costume, one arm raised holding a flame-and-sun motif and flanked by two undulating red ribbons — an allegory in the spirit of rural houses of culture. Reds, ochre and white smalt on a grey wall above a stone base. Like many such works it has no documented author or year; it is listed in the Mosaics of Moldova inventory as unprotected and survives in situ.
