The detail views show the fineness of the mosaic in its realization. A site visit turns must for lovers of symbolism, whether or alchemical related to tarot cards Marseille.

It is a wonder to see such a mosaic.

This technique preserves the freshness indefinitely colors, like the first day. The only concern is the accidental arrival of moisture on the back of the taisselle, small glazed square which is the basic element of the mosaic. It then comes to tarnish metal oxides.
