Alexander the Great, Lion Hunt, 4th Century BC
Detail of lion hunt mosaic from a wealthy home of the late 4th century BC, the "House of Dionysos" at Pella, in Pella, the capital of the Macedonian Kingdom. Alexander the Great (left), wearing a kausia and fighting an Asiatic lion with his friend Craterus (not shown). A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in decorative art or as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat, roughly square, pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae. Some, especially floor mosaics, are made of small rounded pieces of stone, and called "pebble mosaics". Others are made of other materials.
