> A Beautiful Mosaic in the New Library of Alexandria
> This fragment of a mosaic floor, showing a dog alongside an overturned
> bronze jug, was found during the construction of the New Library of
> Alexandria. It is now part of the library’s museum. The mosaic is
> extremely detailed; the dog’s red collar can clearly be seen and the
> artist has carefully modelled the reflection of light on the bronze jug.
> It likely dates to the Second Century BC.
