About the Item

Wonderfully charismatic and of imposing size, this ancient Roman mosaic depicts a deer with head erect and large antlers, galloping to the left mid-stride, with outstretched legs that extend the length of the mosaic. There's a bird raised behind the deer with a plumed head-feather and four Y-shaped fillers in the field, all of black, pink, and ochre tesserae on a white ground. This is a monumental statement piece suitable for any well appointed home collection. Notes This fragmented panel likely comes from a larger hunting scene. The deer is shown running to one side, possibly away from a predator or a Roman on a hunt. Provenance Anonymous sale; Sotheby's, London, 14 July 1986. Private European Collection. Antiquities Christie's London, October 24, 2012. Private Collection, Los Angeles, California.
