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.
