Tutte le aste / Arte Asiatica / ROMAN POLYCHROME MOSAIC PANEL WITH BIRDS AND ACHANTUS SCROLLS ON A
Ca. AD 270 - 320 . A finely constructed polychrome mosaic panel in *opus tessellatum*, centred by a waterfowl shown in profile amid an elaborate arrangement of scrolling achantus, vines, broad leaves, flowers, buds, and fruit. The bird is rendered in cream, pale blue, ochre, and reddish-brown tesserae, with dark outlines defining its curved neck, folded wing, and plumage. Large golden leaves anchor the upper corners, while intertwined tendrils and smaller blossoms spread across the black ground, creating a dense and balanced composition. The rich palette combines ivory, yellow, terracotta, green, blue-grey, brown, and black, producing clear contrasts and subtle tonal variation. The tesserae are laid in carefully directed rows, or *andamento*, which follow the contours of the bird and the movement of the vegetal scrolls. Smaller tesserae articulate the principal details, while broader and more regular courses form the background. Very well preserved, with the central figure, complex ornament, and extensive polychromy remaining substantially intact and clearly legible.
