A dramatic landmark gateway feature for the main roundabout entering Erith in Kent was commissioned by the London Borough of Bexley. This 7.5m high mosaic sculpture stands on the roundabout at Bronze Age Way on the A206 marking the entrance to the town.

The design was inspired by the old town coat of arms, which was adopted from the family arms of Richard de Luci. Part of the project included working with local young people at Eriths Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.

The sculpture was carved by Gary Drostle in polystyrene then coated with a glass fibre reinforced polymer modified cement. Once the cement skin had been applied, high-quality Italian vitreous glass tiles were cut and fixed to the sculpture. The sculpture was made in three sections and assembled and finished on site.

The aim of this piece was to create a celebration of the town that looked back at its long history and looked forward to its new focus as a riverside town. In 2007, the work was awarded the prestigious Rouse Kent public art award, and in 2008 the Best Architectural Mosaic award at the Mosaic Arts International in Miami, Florida.
