A large circular micromosaic table top composed as a sequence of architectural views. Changes in tesserae, colour and perspective distinguish masonry, sky and spatial depth across the surface. Its scale places it among the ambitious furniture-mounted works associated with Roccheggiani’s independent Roman workshop.
