DescriptionThis narrow strip of mosaic glass was once part of a larger decorative inlay. It features a delicate black-and-yellow meander pattern—a continuous line forming a repeated geometric motif. The piece was created using the fused mosaic glass technique, in which slices of patterned canes are arranged and fused together.
