- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Late Roman Imperial to early Byzantine Empire, ca. late 4th to 6th century CE. A superb stone mosaic depicting a running ibex with its head raised and pointed towards its posterior. The majestic ungulate sprints to the left along the lower left-hand corner of the mosaic as indicated by the black and gray border and features a lean, muscular body with hooved feet. The forelegs are raised as if preparing for another powerful stride with hind legs extended beneath the slender tail. One almond-shaped eye peers out from behind the lengthy snout and bushy goatee, and from between two perky ears emanate a majestic pair of semicircular horns culminating in narrow points. Seven red and yellow flowers are interspersed across the creamy yellow tesserae and provide a pop of color to this earth-toned composition. Size (mosaic): 35.875" W x 30" H (91.1 cm x 76.2 cm); (frame): 38.125" W x 32.1" H (96.8 cm x 81.5 cm)
Provenance: ex-Phoenicia Holyland Antiquities, New York, New York, USA aquired in the late 1980s; ex David Liebert collection
