A detailed mosaic depicting Danylo Romanovych (Daniel of Galicia) is centered within an arched architectural feature at Zoloti Vorota Metro Station in Kyiv, Ukraine. The mosaic features a waist-up portrayal of a bearded male figure, facing forward, wearing a green pointed helmet and layered garments in red and blue. His left hand (viewer's right) holds a scepter with an ornate finial, while his right hand (viewer's left) is raised with two fingers extended, consistent with a gesture of blessing or address. Cyrillic script reading "ДАНИЛА РОМАНОВИЧ" is inscribed in mosaic tiles to the left and right of the figure's head. Below the figure, the stylized numbers "1Z38" and "1Z40" (interpreted as 1238 and 1240) are visible. The mosaic is composed of numerous small, irregularly shaped tesserae in various colors, including shades of gold, brown, blue, red, white, and black, creating distinct patterns and outlines for the figure and his attire. The mosaic itself is framed by concentric borders of different colored tesserae, set within an archway constructed of larger, light-brown rectangular brick-like tiles, which form the immediate architectural surround. No other individuals or objects are present within the visible frame of the image.
