Ram near a Tree

Executed in mosaic, the piece showcases early Byzantine artistic techniques, with small tiles arranged to form a detailed, flat representation of the subject.

Once integrated into the church floor, the fragment was later detached and repositioned for upright display in a museum setting, now part of The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection.

Created for a religious space, the mosaic was meant to be walked upon, with its imagery contributing to the church's decorative and symbolic landscape, potentially accompanied by other narrative fragments like The Fall of Adam and Eve.
