This large, rectangular mosaic is composed of small pieces of stone and glass that form 25 separate sections that fit together to form a continuous design. There is a complex overall design of stylized botanical tracery around a central head. The tracery and head are done in blue, red, green, yellow, and black glass and stone. The colored stones and glass are set into a background of small, white stone fragments. The central section of the mosaic is separated from an outer section of botanical tracery by a rectangular frame-like border of black and white stripes enclosing a continuous white braid motif set in a black background. Outside this frame,  black stone and glass tracery forms thin whorls and spirals of stems and leaves that move continuously around the periphery. Small arrow motifs, pointing to each corner, are the only non-contiguous elements. Inside the braid-like frame, colored glass and stone form similar continuous leaf and stem tracery enclosing four unique birds. The birds are positioned in the center of each side, like compass points. Each bird sits on a stylized, vase-like perch that becomes a pear-shaped enclosure and leads to a large heart with spirals that surrounds each bird. The four heart shapes are connected to four identical corner designs. The tracery of each corner design forms an open, inverted pear leading to bilateral spirals. All of this tracery dances around the central motif: a woman’s head with snakes for hair and neck. She wears a winged headdress. Her eyes are round and wide, giving her a startled expression. There is a two sided ribbon-like motif surrounding her. The glass ribbon is folded symmetrically into an octagon. One side of the ribbon is blue and the other side is red with regularly spaced highlights in green and yellow.
