ROMAN MOSAIC - RIDER KIDNAPING A LITTLE TIGER - WORCESTER HUNT MUSEUM

Reproduction of a large mosaic (Micro-mosaïc for the details) decorated with a hunting scene with a rider and tigers. It's conserved at the Worcester Hunt Museum in USA.

This pavement, excavated from a villa at Daphne, a resort in the hills above ancient Antioch, depicts the hunting of dangerous game, an aristocratic pastime represented in mosaics and other media throughout the Roman world and commonly at Antioch. At the center stands a hunter ringed by animals in a pattern much like that of an oriental carpet. Hunters on foot and horseback attack a variety of animals with sword, spear, and bow and arrow. Datation : Early 6th c. A.D.

Each mosaic is unique and can be presented flat, put into the floor, or presented as a painting (an attaching system is present on the back).

Craft work, full hand made, with many natural stones as marble, granite, travertine, quartz, limestone,...
