✨Lion versus Leopard✨
This mosaic immediately captures your attention - the direct gaze of the lion forcing the leopard into submission is hard to miss. The mosaic has suffered some damage from subsistence over the years but feels acutely compelling even with the rough edges.

✨Thalassa, divine personification of the sea✨
Thalassa is thought to have mythological connections to the Mesopotamian goddess Tiamet, as well as the Titan Tethys, which further connects Thalassa as a potential mother of Aphrodite.
✨Belated #MosaicMonday with a mosaic thought to personify Autumn✨
We must confess to enjoying the long weekend and entirely missing Monday, but we’re back now! In our corner of the globe, autumn is upon us - though it might very well be the warmest autumn in quite some time. To honour the season, we offer this beautiful mosaic. It’s provenance is not ideal but it is thought to date to the 2nd to 3rd century CE.
For #MosaicMonday and #Easter Monday a lovely image of a #rabbit, a detail from a mosaic showing Orpheus surrounded by enchanted #animals.
Found in Antioch, modern-day Antakya, Türkiye. Dating 4th c. AD.
On display at Museum Kestner Hannover.
