Floor Mosaic Panel: Grape Harvester with Peacock, 400s. Creator: Unknown
Floor Mosaic Panel: Grape Harvester with Peacock, 400s. This group of mosaics may be from a church at Maaut El Naaman in northern Syria. The panel depicting Adam and Eve includes a Greek inscription that translates as: " And they ate, [and they] were made naked, " from the book of Genesis (3:7-8). It is possible that the mosaic belonged to a pavement illustrating the Garden of Eden. The Grape Harvester with a Peacock also conveys well-known Christian themes. The grapes represent the Eucharistic wine and thus the blood of Christ, while the peacock was a symbol of immortality

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Floor Mosaic Panel from the 5th century Byzantine period. Created by an unknown artist, this mosaic panel is believed to have originated from a church in Maaut El Naaman, located in northern Syria. The intricate design depicts a Grape Harvester with a Peacock, both of which hold significant symbolism within Christianity. The presence of grapes in the artwork represents the Eucharistic wine and symbolizes the blood of Christ. This connection to religious rituals adds depth and meaning to the mosaic's portrayal of the harvester amidst grapevines. Additionally, the peacock featured alongside further enhances its Christian themes as it was commonly associated with immortality during that era. It is speculated that this mosaic panel might have been part of a larger pavement illustrating scenes from the Garden of Eden due to its inclusion of Adam and Eve depicted on another section. A Greek inscription accompanying their image translates as "And they ate, [and they] were made naked" referencing Genesis 3:7-8. Preserved through time, this exquisite piece demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship using marble tesserae meticulously arranged into stunning patterns. Currently housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this photograph allows us to appreciate and admire this ancient masterpiece created by an anonymous artist whose talent continues to captivate audiences today.
