Asset Overview

From artsmia.org "*Scrolls of vine and acanthus leaves enclosing human or animal forms, called rinceaux, were frequently used in the borders of large mosaic compositions. The rinceaux in this mosaic segment include birds, symbolizing the soul, and pomegranates, referring to the annual return of spring and therefore the Christian hope in immortality and resurrection.*" More info about the artwork here: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/1739/birds-with-foliage-turkey
