A large-scale mosaic mural, identified as "The History of Jaffa" by Jean David, dominates the scene within the Shalom Meir Tower in Tel Aviv, Israel. The mosaic covers a significant wall area, extending from just above a tiled floor to below a patterned ceiling. The mosaic itself depicts a complex, stylized narrative or historical scene. Its primary colors are golden-beige for the landmass, dark blue for the sky, and various muted tones for figures and structures. The composition features an undulating landscape densely populated with numerous human figures, architectural elements, and animals. Key subjects and objects within the mosaic include: * A large, stylized fish, colored orange and brown, positioned centrally near the bottom. Its open mouth frames a circular window through which several small, light-skinned figures are looking out. * Numerous stylized human figures, both male and female, appear throughout the mosaic. They are depicted in various activities: some are dancing, one is holding a lantern, others are engaged in building or observing, and some appear to be floating or flying. Many figures wear traditional attire, including turbans. * A large clock face with dark red hands is visible in the upper-left section of the mosaic, set against the golden-beige background. * Various architectural structures resembling traditional Middle Eastern buildings, with domes, arches, and towers, are scattered across the landscape. * Animals such as two camels, one orange and one blue, carrying burdens, are depicted in the lower-right section. A winged, bird-like figure blowing a horn flies in the upper-right against the dark blue background. * The dark blue background, representing the sky, is speckled, suggesting stars or a textured effect, and is bordered by a golden, undulating line separating it from the golden-beige land. Above the mosaic, the ceiling is light-colored, possibly beige or cream, featuring a regular grid pattern of recessed square panels (coffering). Several circular recessed light fixtures are visible, with two emitting strong, elongated light flares towards the viewer. The floor in the immediate foreground consists of a checkerboard pattern of square tiles in reddish-brown, light green, and light beige hues, extending away from the viewer. The lighting appears to be artificial, originating from the ceiling fixtures. in Tel-Aviv, Israel
