Description:

|
Part of the 2015 "Pompeii" exhibit which featured over 220 archaeological artifacts, most from the Naples National Archaeological Museum. The exhibit was designed to immerse viewers in settings of every day life in Pompeii, complete with state-of-the-art visual effects and soundscapes. This is the central floor emblem in a floor pavement, executed in the fine opus vermiculatum style. From the House of the Faun (Casa del Fauno, VI.12.2). During the first century BCE, Pompeii was less than a kilometre from the sea. It is a vibrant scene teeming with different fish, eel, shellfish, squid and even a lobster fighting an octopus. On the left, a kingfisher standing on a rocky shelf gazes into the water. (Source: Naples National Archaeological Museum [website]; http://cir.campania. beniculturali.it/mus eoarcheologiconazion ale)
