Unusual mosaic

A mosaic in the basement of the basilica. I don’t quite understand all the symbolism of it but thought it was pretty interesting.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

It is very striking. Perhaps something to do with liberty. V

I don´t know the meaning of the Statue in a basilica mosaic, but I like your capture of it.V.

It does look like a lot of mixed symbolism ~v~

a lot was thrown together here, and a unifying theme is a puzzle to identify..

What an interesting work of art. I agree, it is hard to figure out all the symbolism.
