Neptune - God of the Sea Mosaic is one of our wide collection of Mythological Mosaics.


Neptune

Neptune was the god of freshwater and the sea in Roman religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. In the Greek-influenced tradition, Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto; the brothers presided over the realms of Heaven, the earthly world, and the Underworld. Salacia was his wife.

Depictions of Neptune in Roman mosaics, especially those of North Africa, are influenced by Hellenistic conventions. Neptune was likely associated with fresh water springs before the sea. Like Poseidon, Neptune was worshipped by the Romans also as a god of horses, under the name Neptunus Equester, a patron of horse-racing.

Neptune is the creator of horses and is the god of the sea as well as the owner of a powerful weapon, the Trident. Poseidon is the greek Neptune and is one of the big three gods Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. He accidentally created horses when he had an affair with Medusa, and also created a boy who roams the seas as a pirate past the pillar of Hercules.

INSTALLATION

Installing mosaics is similar to installing ceramic tiles. Large mosaics usually consist of different fragments assembled and grouted on-site.

If you order any of our mosaics from our standard range, they come pre-grouted and equipped with hooks for hanging. They can also be installed on the floor, as they are backed with high-resistance material.

For specific installation needs, we can adjust the mosaic’s weight for wall mounting or enhance its grip for floor installation. Usual thickness for our mosaics is 0.8" to 1" (imperial system) or 2cm - 2.5cm (metric system). However, if a final thickness is required we must be informed by you, and we will adjust to make sure meet your requirement.

OUTDOORS & INDOORS

Marble mosaics can be installed both outdoors and indoors. Outdoors, they are commonly used near fountains, in public squares, resting areas, and on terraces. Indoors, you’ll often find them in swimming pools, spas, bathrooms, entrances, and living rooms.

CUSTOM MOSAICS

From expansive floors to small murals, we can meet any design, material, and technical requirement for our mosaics. The only limits are your imagination and budget.
