About the Item
This incredible Roman micro-mosaic portrait of a woman shows off a woman warrior in all her glory. Not only interesting because of its age, but the subject makes it even more unique. Believed to have been lifted from the floor of a Roman structure, then reset in concrete and framed. Very heavy, may not be suitable for wall hanging - display on a shelf is recommended. Italy, circa 200 AD
Measures: 20.5” H, 18.25” W, 2” D.
A rare and captivating artifact, this antique Roman micro-mosaic portrait depicts a warrior woman in profile, crafted from hand-cut tesserae in warm, earthy tones of terracotta, sandstone, and charcoal. Believed to have once adorned the floor of an ancient Roman structure, the mosaic was carefully lifted, reset in a solid concrete matrix, and framed for preservation and display.
Originating from Italy circa 200 AD, the mosaic features intricate detailing in the subject's flowing hair, garment bands, and serene facial expression, offering a timeless glimpse into the artistry and aesthetics of the Roman Empire. The piece is mounted in a substantial black-painted wood frame that adds contrast and presence, making it an exceptional focal point for any refined interior or classical art collection!
Age-related wear and minor losses to some tesserae add to the authenticity and historic charm of the piece, while the overall structure remains stable and ready for display.

Mid-18th Century Indian Court Painting of Krishna and Radha, Gouache with Gold
Located in Middleburg, VA
A superbly detailed mid-18th-century Indian miniature court painting, executed in gouache heightened with gold on handmade paper. Originating from Rajasthan circa 1760, this exquisite artwork captures a serene palace scene featuring the Hindu deity Krishna with Radha and accompanying Gopis in a lush, architectural setting. The composition is rich in symbolism, narrative depth, and emotional subtlety, hallmarks of classical Rajput painting.
The figures are adorned with traditional garments, rendered in delicate pastel tones with intricate patterns and gilt accents. The architectural elements, marble pavilions, domes, carved screens, and floral gardens, are meticulously executed, offering a vivid impression of royal leisure and divine romance.
Set against a tree-lined courtyard with peacocks and floral motifs, the visual rhythm is both vibrant and harmonious. The painting is professionally mounted in a deep tan linen mat and presented in an elegant gold-gilt frame with black detailing, complementing the composition's refined warmth and historic gravitas.
