A dynamic depiction of a stylised marine creature, captured in flowing bands of red, terracotta, deep green and charcoal marble . Set against a finely laid limestone ground, the composition recalls the sea-life motifs found in Roman bathhouses and Mediterranean villas.

Each tessera is hand-cut and individually placed, giving the surface subtle variation and authentic texture. The quiet background allows the vibrant figure to take centre stage.

Traditionally associated with water settings, such panels were used in baths, pools and coastal residences to evoke vitality and movement.

Narrative in stone.
A timeless Mediterranean expression
