Description
A central octopus with undulating tentacles commands this ancient mosaic composition, surrounded by an intricate array of fish, crustaceans, and serpentine creatures rendered in cream, gold, rust, and charcoal tones against a dark ground. The densely packed arrangement creates a dynamic, almost chaotic marine tableau where each creature overlaps and interlocks, evoking the detailed naturalism and decorative abundance characteristic of Roman floor mosaics. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
