Description |
Iznik/Nicaea. Nicaea Archaeological Museum. Fragment of a marble slab with two peacocks drinking at the tree of life (one seems to be pregnant). Christians took this as two "fideles" drinking from tree of life, but it was a common motif in pagan decoration as well, according to Ristow. |
