This image captures an architectural fragment of multiple slender, cylindrical columns completely wrapped in polychrome ceramic tile and glass mosaics, crowned by sculptural floral capitals. It is crafted from a structural core clad in glazed ceramic shards, glass tesserae, and manufactured tiles using the trencadís (broken-tile mosaic) technique and precision tesserae assembly, executed through direct mortar bedding, custom tile-cutting, and polychrome arrangement.
