499743 Floor Mosaic Panel: Grape Harvester with Peacock, 400s (marble tesserae) by Byzantine, (5th century); 133.5x144.8 wt:292 lbs cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: This group of mosaics may be from a church at Maaut El Naaman in northern Syria. 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.
