Why do #vine_scroll ornament decorates the gothic window frames of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre?
#Jerusalem
Spectacular #peacock surrounded by #vine_scroll. Fascinating early Christian iconography of eternal life. Naturally, fully drawing on pagan #Dionysiac symbols and the #peacock, being originally the symbol of Juno and Roman Empress.

Mirror, Southern Russia, 3rd century AD, Bronze, silver, glass paste. On the border, peacocks peck grapes. Made of 200 pictures with Zephyr3D Lite from 3DFlow. https://t.co/Tk53g2Yw0Q @cgplusdotcom @CMU_CFA @FineArtRest @ArtHistoryBRU #culturalheritage #3Dscan
In my view, the highest attraction of the #Baptisterium in #Aquileia is the #mosaic displaying the #peacock and #vine_scroll, both ancient ornaments successfully adopted into the #Christian #iconography
#Reclining. Funerary Banquet from #Palmyra found by Polish Mission in #DiocleciansCamp. The clean-cut faces, long hair with 'snail'-shaped locks and so-called 'Parthian' dress with trousers, richly decorated by #vine_scroll and #acanthus indicating dating at approx. 230 AD.
A panel on one of the funerary representations from the third century's #Palmyra which displays not just the #vine_scroll ornament but also a #cupid harvesting the grapes! What embraces the question again: was the #Dionysus a popular deity at the desert oasis?
ṢLMT BT ḤBY BRT ZBYD᾿ḤBL 'Image of Bat-Ḥabbai daughter of Zebîdâ. Alas!' from #Palmyra, on view in the #NationalMuseuminDamascus. Puffy, proud face, the turban with #half-crescent and #rosette, FOUR rows of necklaces, and mandarine sleeves with #vine_scroll ornament,
#Ishtar-#Astrate sitting on the throne in the company of #Tyche of #Palmyra. The foot of Isthar is resting on the personification of #EfqaSpring, behind her the #eagle with the #OakBranch on the Doric Column. Standing Tyche in #CoronaMuralis. Relief framed by #vine_scroll
The #LargeBanquet from the hypogeum of ʻAlainê in the Valley of Tombs in #Palmyra. The #reclining man, evidently the father of the family and one of his male relatives were shown robes richly decorated by #vine_scroll embroidery. Dating: 210-240 C.E. #SyrianRobes #Elagabalus ?
So to conclude, the #vine_scroll ornament flourished in #Severan period as the marker of identity, which under the rule of #Syrian dynasty could be expressed stronger, Syrians feeling at the same time equally Roman, highly Hellenised too, all the cultural idioms free to express.
Moreover, the #vine_scroll ornament appeared on the funerary bust of certain Tamma, daughter of Shamshigeram kept in @britishmuseum , made late Hadrianic period. The modelling is pretty anachronistic, but proves a strong expression of the local identities,

One of the few examples of #vine_scroll ornament is displayed on the funerary bust of Yarḥai, the Priest, the priest made at the end of #Hadrian's reign.
The #vine_scroll ornament was used mostly in architectural contexts. It's hard to decide if it was just a copy of fashionable decoration or whether there were any deeper religious meanings attached. Here the fragment from Diocletian's Camp, also found by Poles.
The #vine_scroll ornaments appeared also in the Tomb of Alaine (excavated by #Polish Mission) whereas the robes with these motives were carved in several versions by 238 AD. Relevantly, they were reproduced earlier scarcely ever, in most cases decorating the robes of priests.
Yarḥai son of Elahbel, @MuseeLouvre. Chiton is decorated by #vine_scroll embroidery. The turned head, hairstyle and eye's modelling indicate the late-#Severan period, maybe even the #Elagabalus reign. For last weeks I tried to figure out why at that time

Red Porphyry Sarcophagus of #Constantina, #VaticanMuseums, originally located in #SantaConstanza. The decoration is a semi-pagan depiction of cupids in #Dionysic harvesting of grapes surrounded by #vine_scroll. Interpreted as an early Christian reference to the Eucharist.
#SantaCostanza the mausoleum erected to #Constantina, daughter of #Constantine considered as the finest example of #earlyChristianart. Clearly, the #Dionysiac motives of #vine_scroll and #vineharvest were involved as well as #peackocks. Fine adaptation in an entirely new context
#Christus #Helios or #SolInvictus riding the chariot within the #vine_scroll ornament on the mosaic on the ceiling in Mausoleum M in the #Vatican grottoes under #StPetersBasilica. The question if the iconography of #Palmyrene #Sungods was involved?

The #Indian Triumph of #Dionysus - the late 2nd-century Roman sarcophagus on display at @mfaboston. At some point, the Dionysiac joyful imagery and the #vine_scroll were associated in Roman imagery with eternal life. https://t.co/4gD5vWnBdc
The #vine_scroll ornament at on the 12th-century #Indian Hoysaleswara Temple. The decoration spread along the #SilkRoad. Figures combined with leaf scrolls derived in its entirety from provincial forms of #Hellenistic architecture employed in Central Asia (Rawson 1984, 23).
