✨A woman makes an offering✨This #FrescoFriday we travel to the Villa San Marco in Stabiae to enjoy this beautiful depiction of a woman carrying a tray that has food an implements associated with making a ritual offering. #AncientRome #History
@Tarnport this type of diaphanous fabric is seen in many Roman frescoes, but the material involved is something scholars aren’t quite certain about. Theories include finely woven linen from Egypt or silk acquired through trade with Asia (even if the weaving methods were different from later processes).
