EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tombstone with an epitaph from the Church of the Priest Felix, near Kelibia. Dating back to the 4th-5th century, this mosaic artwork is a remarkable representation of Paleo-Christian culture. Measuring 220x162 cm, it can be found at the Musee National du Bardo in Le Bardo, Tunisia. The tombstone features intricate details that tell a story of remembrance and honor. A Latin inscription adorns its surface, paying tribute to the deceased individual buried beneath it. Surrounding the epitaph are beautifully depicted birds and grapevines, symbolizing life and resurrection in ancient funerary traditions. Notably, a majestic peacock stands prominently on top of the gravestone—a significant symbol in early Christian art representing immortality and eternal life. The vibrant colors used in this mosaic add depth and richness to its overall composition. This piece serves as an important artifact from North African history, specifically Tunisian heritage during the Paleochristian era. Its preservation allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves into an ancient world where faith intertwines with artistry on every dalle tombale avec epitaphe like this one.
