Exactly what we need to brighten our Monday|: a squirrel with good taste.

Following the last couple of offerings for #MosaicMonday, another detail from the fantastic Oceanus mosaic from Saint-Rustice. Today is one of the swimming Cupids. Note the pendant (? a bulla) and the background - to which we shall return another time. 1/2

Could do with some soothing music this #MosaicMonday, and this handsome if fragmentary Triton might oblige, even though his conch shell is broken. In the Musee Saint-Raymond in Toulouse.

For #MosaicMonday, what's in a name? There's controversy over this late mosaic as the museum label suggests that Doto results from a former restoration and that she is actually Ino. Whatever her name, she's delightful. 1/2

An early entry for #MosaicMonday: the powerful and splendidly bearded head of Oceanus at Carranque in Spain, which I was lucky enough to see when the site was newly excavated.
