A good reproduction
Technically this is NOT Aphrodite but I can understand the simplification of the Greco-Roman pantheon. It is a pretty good reproduction of a third-century BC portrait of a Nereid (a nymph and daughter of the sea god Nereus) traveling through the water on a sea horse and two playful dolphins, from Tunisia and the original now in the El Jem Museum. It was a later decision add-on to my design plan, but adds a great deal to the overall design. Working with Mozaico has been a great pleasure. Here is a picture of it when it first arrived next to my computer and also when installed
A good reproduction
This is a good reproduction of an ancient mosaic from Tunisia. Technically it is not a depiction of Aphrodite, but a minor goddess related to Neptune, hence the dolphins, etc. The original was somewhat larger, so in this reproduction, the artists simplified quite a bit but managed to keep the spirit of the original. The only lack of detail that is noticeable was in the face, hands and hair. On the technical side, I had some difficulty removing the backing before attaching to the wall surface. In some places, it was stuck so firmly that I had to leave it since the film shredded into pieces. This was not a problem with other mosaics I have received from MOSAICO.
Wonderful
I thought about purchasing a reproduction mosaic for years, and I’m so glad I went with mozaico. They have a tremendous selection, and made it very easy to order, frame, and ship. Excellent service all around and the product surpassed my expectations. It is so nice to see this company preserving the art of mosaics!
