Camberwell beauty butterfly mosaic. The mosaic previously topped the façade of the Samuel Jones paper factory on Southampton Way (photo at https://www.flickr.com/photos/24193533@N08/2443098647). When the paper factory was demolished in 1982, the mosaic was rescued and placed on the side of the 1903 Passmore Edwards Library and Batthouse (see http://www.bridgetonowhere.friendsofburgesspark.org.uk/the-story-of-burgess-park-heritage-trail/heritage-trail-m-w/passmore-edwards-library-baths-and-wash-house for more on the building).
