    Ravenna is famous for it's mosaics. Galla Placidia was built in the early 5th C. There's plenty of info online, and if you search you will likely find a picture of your piece: the Apostle John. It's to be expected that the city will have some sort of mosaic industry for the tourist trade.

    Do you happen to know who did the reproduction? Where is the original exhibited?

    Thanks a lot!
