Charming decorative mosaic made of polychrome tesserae, depicting a basket of grapes on a light background, framed by a black circular border. The piece is mounted on a board and enclosed in a wooden frame.
This is a faithful reproduction of an original Roman mosaic housed at the El Jem Museum (Tunisia), dating back to the 3rd century AD. The composition beautifully echoes the aesthetics of ancient Roman mosaics, with a harmonious palette and careful volumetric rendering, particularly in the geometrical basket and lush grapes—symbols of abundance in Roman culture.
A label on the back reads:
“CESTO CON UVA – Reproduction of a Roman mosaic from the Amphitheatre of El Jem, preserved in the El Jem Museum (Tunisia), dated 3rd century AD.”Perfect for classic interiors, wine cellars, study rooms, or for collectors of Roman and Mediterranean-inspired art.
