Mosaik, showing a map of North America (Mexico is clearly recognizable at the bottom of the mosaik), with Columbus holding the Spanish flag (standing in the Great Lakes area) , one of Columbus's ships, a stereotypic tipi with an Indian chief and the seal of the United States (over Baja California). At the top three large black or grey birds are flying.

Anmerkung / Annotation
The mosaik is on the northern façade of the house Columbusgasse 66, facing Rotenhofgasse, in Vienna's 10th Bezirk. This house is built in 1966. The mosaik has a rather irregular shape, and one of the birds and the ship are partly cut off, therefore I am not sure the mosaik is made for this building.
