1. Mosaic section with a red, orange octopus in a square frame. Its legs are red and orange stripes and it gazes out directly at the viewer.

1. Detail from a larger mosaic. Two ibex face each other seemingly rising from the wings of a phoenix with a rose blossoming between them.

In honour of the glorious warmth in the Antipodes right now, spring and abundance in all their glory is top of mind. If you’re experiencing chill conditions, we hope this adds a touch of brightness and the memory of spring to your day.

1. Description from the museum: “A young woman stands looking out from a balcony on this Roman fresco fragment. She wears a loose-fitting, sleeved tunic, cinched at the waist, along with a sakkos (cap), which matches the tunic’s light green color. She sips from a shallow cup held in her right hand, and balances an oinochoe (pitcher) on the railing of a balcony. The figure stands within an illusionistic architectural setting. Broad bands of black and red frame the scene at the left, and additional bands of color can be seen below the balcony.”

- Erotic Mythology (hire me) 🌹
This maenad is certainly living up to her reputation! As a devotee of Dionysus she appears nude holding a thyrsos staff and touching a disembodied phallus! This C2nd BCE amethyst simply shines!

1. Description from the museum: “Naked maenad in front of a stele. The slender body with a high waist is given in a three-quarter front view, the head gracefully lowered. The simple hairstyle consists of center-parted hair that is curled at the temples and nape of the neck. The maenad holds a thyrsos in her lowered right hand, and in her left hand, slightly raised, with delicately spread fingers, a phallos on a ribbon. Location: Vienna Art History Museum”
