Mosaic Fragment with a Bust of Euterpe from Gerasa in the Yale University Art Gallery, October 2013
Mosaic Fragment with a Bust of Euterpe
late 2nd–early 3rd century A.D.
Mosaic: limestone and glass tesserae
62.9 × 58.4 cm (24 3/4 × 23 in.)
Ruth Elizabeth White Fund
2004.2.5
This fragment (as well as 2004.2.1–.4) was once part of a much larger mosaic on the floor of a triclinium (dining room) of a Roman house in Gerasa. In the procession, revelers accompany centaurs drawing Dionysos and his consort Ariadne on a cart. Below, Erato, muse of erotic poetry and mime, plays a lyre, while Euterpe, muse of lyric poetry, holds two auloi (reed instruments much like oboes). More than twenty other fragments of this floor exist today, the majority of which are in Berlin. The Yale University Art Gallery’s fragments were discovered in 1927, following earlier excavations in 1907.
Geography: Excavated in Gerasa, Jordan
Culture: Gerasa (Jordan)
Period: Roman
Classification: Mosaic
Provenance: Discovered and excavated at Gerasa before 1927, when purchased (as a group of 10 fragments) from a dealer in Damascus, by Nelda C. and H.J. Lutcher Stark; collection of the Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas; collection of a New York Corporation; Sotheby's NY 12/9/2003 lot #74.
