Subject
Woman at Her Toilet, late 4th – early 5th century, Roman, Sidi Ghrib, Tunisia, 1.8 x 2.94 m, polychrome glass in mortar, Tunis, Tunisia, Bardo National Museum.
Description
This mosaic is one of those discovered at the archeological site of Sidi Ghrib in Tunisia, some 40 km southwest of Carthage. The site, a former Roman villa, was excavated in 1975. The scene depicts the matron of the house as she gets ready. She is attended by two maidservants and surrounded by various objects (sandals, caskets, a pitcher, etc.) The maidservant to the right holds a mirror in which we can see the reflection of the domina’s face.
