Antakya Archaeology Museum Four seasons Spring mosaic sept 2019 6047e.jpg

In 2019 in the new museum I took this picture that I sort with earlier ones. The original of this picture has a higher resolution than earlier ones, but formerly I could work with more natural light, and the mosaic was on a wall, better for the avoidance of distortions.

From the "Four Seasons" mosaic. The mosaic, inv. 1018, is from Harbiye, from the second century A.D. It's named after the winged figures representing the seasons. This is Spring. Naked and winged he wears a wreath of leaves on his head and a garland of flowers round his neck. He is walking and there is a bowl in his left hand. On his right there originally was a goat of some sort, of which only two feet remain.
