About Floral Plaque

The artwork titled “Floral Plaque,” created by an unknown artist from Ancient Egypt, dates back to approximately 100 BC to 100 AD. This ornamental piece belongs to the Hellenistic art movement.

The artwork, a fragment of what was likely a larger decorative object, showcases a richly colored floral motif. Dominated by vivid reds, yellows, greens, and blues, the central design features an intricate flower with radiating petals and surrounding buds. Smaller flowers and leaves frame this central bloom, enhancing the overall symmetry and complexity. The background appears dark, possibly a deep blue or black, which further accentuates the bright colors of the floral arrangement. Despite its age and wear, the plaque still retains a vibrant and detailed depiction of floral beauty, reflecting the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of its time.
