art_history_animalia, 5 months ago to animals For #TilesOnTueaday + #TwoForTuesday: 105 + 156 “#Oyster” Many of the designs appear in multiples & those in higher foot traffic areas have noticeably more wear, as seen in this pair. From the ongoing search for all the #animals from the 420 original 1906 Moravian tile #mosaics by Henry Chapman Mercer on the #Pennsylvania Capitol floor. #ArtsAndCraftsMovement #AnimalsInArt photo of floor tile mosaic depicting an open white oyster (bivalve shells), numbered “156” and labeled “OYS TER” - light wear from less foot traffic
