Ancient mosaic found in excavations under the new Alexandria library – dlisbona

Dimensions: H 1.35m, W 1.35m
Material: Coloured marble and limestone cubes
Date: Hellenistic Period (2^nd century B.C.)
Site: The New Library of Alexandria, Egypt

Fragment of a mosaic floor that bears a witness to the high artistic standard of the mosaic craftsmanship in Alexandria, especially these made for the Ptolemaic royal court during the Hellenistic period.The central part is in the form of a circle, surrounding a rare representation of a dog beside an inverted bronze Greek vessel (askos). The details of the scene and the reflection of light on the metal (bronze) are rendered with great artistic skill.The dog’s features are crafted with realism and delicate details. This artistic style is called “opus vermiculum”.

Anne Schwegmann-Fielding

Much of my work has been created in response to our disposable society. If an object is slightly damaged, it is thrown away rather than repaired and then quickly replaced. Materials such as broken china and old teapots, shattered bus shelter glass and buttons are all incorporated within my work. By adorning discarded, functional objects I transform the readymade, pushing “junk” into a fine art context. The metamorphosis of the ordinary into the extraordinary continues to fascinate me.
