mosaic floors
Pieced stone flooring
Mosaic floors are floor surfaces decorated with small pieces of stone, tile, glass, or other materials arranged into patterns or images.
The technique dates to antiquity—Roman villas and Byzantine churches feature elaborate examples.
Modern mosaic floors appear in entryways, bathrooms, and public buildings: The lobby's mosaic floor depicted the city's founding.
