Tessera 10. Tethys mosaic, Villa of Bruñel (Quesada, Jaén, Spain)

Yellow tessera belonging to the Tethys mosaic of the Roman villa of Bruñel. It is located in a semicircular motif that forms the frame around the face of Thetis. Raman analysis indicates the presence of calcite (CaCO3), and X-ray fluorescence shows a high concentration of Ca and smaller amounts of Si, Al, and K. The raw material used was therefore limestone.
