The panel depicting Adam and Eve includes a Greek inscription that translates as: And they ate, [and they] were made naked, taken from the book of Genesis (III: 7-8). It is possible that the mosaic belonged
to a pavement illustrating the Garden of Eden.
The Grape Harvester with a Peacock also conveys well-known Christian themes. The grapes represent the Eucharistic wine and thus the blood of Christ, while the peacock was a symbol of immortality.); John L. Severance Fund; out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent floor mosaic panel from the 5th century Byzantine period. Titled "Grape Harvester with Peacock" this artwork is crafted using marble tesserae, creating an exquisite display of intricate details and vibrant colors. Believed to have originated from a church in Maaut El Naaman, northern Syria, this mosaic panel holds significant religious symbolism. The adjacent Adam and Eve panel features a Greek inscription that narrates their fall from grace as described in the book of Genesis. It is speculated that this mosaic was part of a larger pavement depicting the Garden of Eden. The main focus of this mosaic panel is the Grape Harvester with a Peacock, both representing important Christian themes. The grapes symbolize the Eucharistic wine, signifying the blood of Christ in Christian tradition. Meanwhile, the peacock stands as an emblem of immortality. Measuring 133.5x144.8 cm and weighing approximately 292 lbs. , this remarkable piece now resides at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA thanks to John L. Severance Fund's contribution. Through its meticulous craftsmanship and profound symbolism, this floor mosaic panel transports viewers back to ancient Byzantium while offering insights into early Christian beliefs surrounding redemption and eternal life.
