Description
The design on the Gaia's Box represents the Gypsy Girl/The Gaia Mosaic unearthed in the antique city Zeugma: This mosaic dating from the second century A.D. has become the symbol of Zeugma and was named "Gypsy Girl Mosaic". However, according to some sources the figure represents the earth goddess Gaia. In mytology Gaia is believed to be the first element out of which all the gos have sprung. The Gypsy Girl mosaic is in display at the Gaziantep Museum.
The antique city of Zeugma was founded by Seleucos | Nicator | in 300 B.C. The city was under Roman domination in First century A.D. when it took the name of "Zeugma"(Bridge, Pass). In the Zeugma mosaic we observe next to mythological representations the themes, generated by Euphrates of two thousand years ago, have come down to us.
The green glass Gaia's Box is hand made, the glass surface that displays the mosaic designs is gilt with 24 carats gold, while each mosaic piece is tinted by hand with special glass dye.
