In the Museum

I took so many photographs in the museum that I've simply uploaded a slide show. Some have notes accompanying them, as before, others need no explanation. Bear in mind that the mosaics are mostly made of tesserae no larger than 5mm square - quite awe inspiring effects from such skilful use of shade and colour.
Look out for the pair of feet and ten toes sneaking into one of them! What a delightfully human feature to include in the design.

Am working my way through your slides :) The mosaics are fantastic - wow. Somehow I can see them made up as tapestry cushions - someone like Ehrman (is that the correct spelling?)
