A large, rectangular mosaic artwork is the central subject, featuring a stylized two-headed eagle rendered in black tiles against a shimmering gold background. The eagle, a symbol commonly associated with Byzantine heraldry, holds a scepter or staff in its right talon and an orb in its left, both topped with crosses. Prominently displayed on the right side of the mosaic are the black vertical numbers "1924". Other black symbols are integrated into the gold background: an uppercase "K" in the upper left quadrant, a circular symbol resembling a crossed orb or a stylized Phi/Theta below it, and an inverted "V" or Lambda-like symbol in the lower left quadrant. The mosaic is framed by a dark border and mounted on a dark, possibly black, wall. Green, leafy plants, likely Zamioculcas zamiifolia (ZZ plants), are situated around the mosaic. One plant drapes from the upper right, partially obscuring the corner of the mosaic. Another plant, with its dark, square pot tilted, is visible in the lower right. Bright reflections on the gold tiles suggest artificial light sources illuminating the artwork. A vibrant yellow surface is partially visible in the upper right background. The scene appears to be an indoor setting, possibly a public space or commemorative installation. Given the location context of Nea Filadelfia, Greece, and the significant date "1924", the mosaic strongly references the founding of AEK Athens Football Club by Greek refugees from Constantinople in that year, whose emblem is also a two-headed eagle. The "K" symbol might further allude to Constantinople.
