A colorful mosaic depicts a parrot with a long tail standing on a stone block, against a dark green background.

Description of the Motif The image shows a mosaic depicting a single bird—likely a parrot or parakeet—standing on a rectangular stone block. The mosaic appears ancient and is composed of very small, tightly arranged tesserae that create subtle gradations of color. The bird is shown in side view, its head turned to the right. It has a long tail, elegantly fanning out behind it, and stands with both feet on the upper edge of the slanted stone block. The background is entirely abstract: a large, dark surface with no additional motif, which strongly highlights the bird. 🎨 Color Description in Detail Background The background is very dark, a deep black-green, with tesserae that appear almost black but with a faint greenish reflection. The surface shows slight irregular variations in brightness due to the mosaic’s structure. Ground / Floor Area The lower area is lighter than the background. It consists of small tesserae in light gray, cream, beige, and slightly greenish tones. Stone Block The block on which the bird stands appears three-dimensional. The top surface is light gray to pale pink, with some whitish and beige tones. The side surface is darker, in gray-brown, violet-gray, and beige-pink shades.
