The Arabesque?? Medieval Norman Sicily Peacock Garden Home Decor Shadowbox Inspired From Throne Room Of Roger Ii Palermo Art

This shadow box diorama brings several artistic elements together using mixed media to create a one-of-a-kind home decor item depicting an Norman Sicilian inspired peacock garden. The peacock was used a royal symbol in many ancient & medieval courts across many cultures. The Normans of Sicily, & especially Roger II used it as decor in their palaces & chapels. The artwork in this decor diorama was inspired from the throne room of Roger II bearing gold mosaic walls & ceilings from his royal palace in Palermo. The mosaics in this room feature all sorts of animals, both royally iconographic like peacocks & lions, & mythical like centaurs. We took the inspiration of this room & through the use of mixed media, vintage ornaments, & creativity made a beautiful dioramic Norman peacock garden. Our concept was to create an artwork that creates the effect that Roger II's royal throne room surrounds the viewer. Be transported to medieval Norman Sicily & be inspired to learn more about the history of this unique place & time period in the 12th century. Roger II created a kingdom which drew upon several Mediterranean artistic elements including Islamic, Byzantine, & European to create a cosmopolitan court like no other. This work of art uniquely depicted in a shadowbox decor piece is a tribute to that magnificent medieval court.
