EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases mosaic fish tile fragments from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. The intricate glass fragments, now part of a private collection, exhibit an exquisite display of ancient Roman artistry. These polychrome canes simulate the vibrant decorations found on various fish, adding a touch of realism to their design. Measuring at just 6.3cm high and 0.2cm thick, these delicate artifacts provide a glimpse into the skilled craftsmanship of ancient Rome. The colourful motifs and bright scales create a visually stunning piece that speaks volumes about the classical era's dedication to ornate decoration. These broken yet beautifully preserved tiles were likely once part of larger architectural plaques or decorative elements in Roman buildings. Their presence adds an air of elegance and sophistication to any space they inhabit. The fragmented nature of these mosaic fish tile pieces only enhances their allure, as it allows us to appreciate each individual detail up close. With its rich history and connection to wildlife, this artifact serves as a testament to both human creativity and our fascination with animals throughout time. Captured by eChristies Images and made available through Bridgeman Images, this out-of-copyright photograph invites us into the world of ancient Rome while reminding us of humanity's enduring love for artistic expression.
