Mosaic Frieze at Mitla, Mexico
Long bands of stepped geometric masonry cover a ruined facade above low openings and encroaching vegetation. The caption identifies mosaic work at Mitla, Mexico. The repeated patterns vary from band to band, making the architectural surface appear as a sequence of carefully fitted designs. Donnelly includes the view among the material comparisons in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World.
