Domestic Animal Frame Lance Mosaic Mouth Open Picture Frame Roman Art Sticking Out Tongue Pet Collar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art found in Italy's Campania region, specifically Pompeii. Dating back to the 1st century A. D. , this mosaic work depicts an adorable dog with its tongue playfully sticking out. The image captures the full length of the artwork, framed beautifully and displayed within the renowned Naples Archaeological Museum. The intricate details and craftsmanship evident in this Roman art masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The mosaic artist skillfully portrays the dog's lively expression, mouth open as if caught mid-bark or panting happily. Its stance exudes a sense of alertness and loyalty, perhaps reflecting its role as a domestic animal during that era. The square-shaped image allows us to fully appreciate every aspect of this charming portrayal. Notably, a pet collar adorns the dog's neck, further emphasizing its connection to humans even centuries ago. As we admire this timeless creation from Pompeii, it serves as a reminder of how our love for pets transcends time and cultural boundaries. This extraordinary artifact not only offers insights into ancient Roman life but also celebrates our enduring bond with animals throughout history
