Breaking of symmetry in a floor
A detail of a floor in the Scola Ponentina o Spagnola, one of the synagogues in the jewish Ghetto, in Venice: a square appears not to be in its right place and this should be a mistake done on purpose, in order to remind the imperfection of human nature.
One can get a view of the whole floor here or here.
