Hi Mark,
thank you for posting this on your blog! A couple of corrections:
The technique is maiolica, not mosaic mural. The tiles were
manufactured by Zsolnay (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zsolnay), one
of Europe's (and world's) top makers of architectural ceramics.
The Bukovina figure is not on the far left. She is fourth from the
left, wearing a white himation with the Bukovina coat of arms on her
breast (a large photo where all the details can be clearly seen is
here -
https://art.nouveau.world/sites/default/files/ArtefactPictures/Ukraine/Chernivtsi/Panno.jpg).
The figure in orange chiton behind her symbolizes the House of
Habsburg. His sword of state is the symbol of imperial power and
honor. The wings symbolize protection and triumph.
South Bukovina (not West) is currently in Romania.
Best,
Iosif
