'bit of mosaic' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'group turned up to flog a' is the wordplay.
'group' becomes 'set' (both can mean a collection).
'turned up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'to flog' becomes 'sell' (I've seen this before).
'set' back-to-front is 'tes'.
'tes'+'sell'+'a'='TESSELLA'
