This print captures a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient Roman civilization of the 4th century A. D. The funerary mosaic, discovered in Henchir Thyna, an ancient city known as Thaenae in present-day Tunisia, showcases a married couple indulging in a delightful banquet while reclining on a sumptuous bed. Surrounding them are adorable cupids, joyfully plucking flowers and playing enchanting musical instruments. The intricate details of this mosaic come to life as each cupid is meticulously depicted with delicate wings and mischievous expressions. The vibrant colors create an atmosphere of celebration and romance as the couple enjoys their feast amidst the company of these playful cherubs. The composition beautifully portrays various elements that were significant during this period - from the elegant table adorned with food and drink to the presence of two animals symbolizing fertility and prosperity.
