This print showcases a "Fragment of a Floral Inlay" from Italy, dating back to the Ptolemaic Period-Roman Period (1st century BCE-1st century CE). The artwork, believed to be of African origin, reflects the influence of ancient Egyptian art and design. The image captures a close-up view of this exquisite glass mosaic technique, displaying an array of vibrant colors. The predominant shades are blue and yellow, which beautifully complement each other. The symmetrical patterned flowers create a mesmerizing visual effect that is both decorative and enchanting.

Each delicate flower seems to tell a story from centuries ago—a testament to human creativity transcending time. This photograph invites us into an exploration of history through art—an opportunity to appreciate the beauty that has endured for generations.
