Byzantine Eye v.2

The distinctive Byzantine eye, often depicted in mosaics, is characterized by a stylized, almond-shaped or rounded eye with intricate detailing. It typically features a bold, dark outline, a prominent iris, and sometimes decorative elements like radiating lines or patterns around it to symbolize divine protection or spiritual insight. When created from meticulously hand-cut ceramic tiles on a handmade substrate, this mosaic would showcase precise craftsmanship, with natural colors and textured depth that emphasize the symbolic and artistic significance of the Byzantine eye.
