Executed in the medium of mosaic, the piece is categorized under the Art Nouveau (Modern) and Byzantine art movements and falls within the genre of religious painting. Unfortunately, the artwork no longer exists, as it has been destroyed.
The mosaic depicts a central figure, believed to be the Saviour Almighty, surrounded by saints. The figure of the Saviour is characterized by a solemn and direct gaze, embodying a profound spiritual significance. This central figure is enhanced by a halo, emphasizing its divinity. The surrounding saints are depicted with varying expressions and postures, each also adorned with halos, contributing to the piece’s religious ambiance.

The architectural frame of the artwork is made of meticulously arranged bricks, further embedding the mosaic within a solemn, yet grand context.
