Hand-painted ostrich egg copied from an ancient mosaic. It was painted with very small, slightly protruding dots to give the same character as the mosaic painting from which it was copied.

Each side of the egg is an artistic painting that tells the story of a civilization that documented its history with mosaic stones to remain immortal throughout the ages, and here we are, in turn, documenting it as a carefully drawn masterpiece of small dots stacked next to each other to preserve the mosaic touches on the painting in colors that mimic the splendor of the design.
