glass mosaic
Fragmented glazed picture
A glass mosaic is decorative artwork made by arranging small pieces of colored glass into patterns or images, typically set in mortar or adhesive.
The technique dates to ancient times and appears in architectural elements, furniture, and art objects: The Byzantine church featured elaborate glass mosaics depicting saints.
Glass tesserae—the individual pieces—may be opaque, translucent, or gilded.
