I recently saw this photo on Facebook……
This was the explanation……
One of the largest Roman mosaic floors ever discovered was unearthed during the construction of a hotel in Antakya, Turkey. This massive mosaic, dating back to the Roman period, features intricate designs and colorful patterns.
What’s most striking about the find is the unusual rippled effect across its surface, caused by centuries of earth shifting and earthquakes in the region. The result is an impressive, almost wave-like appearance, as if the mosaic were a giant, rippling blanket.
Despite this natural warping, the mosaic has remained remarkably intact, providing a glimpse into ancient Roman artistry and the impact of geological forces over time.
While that is all very interesting, wouldn’t it be fun to make a quilt that projected that type of movement.
It could even be something like this……
Yikes….something else to add to my “want-to-do” list!!!
