| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to examine the rosette in Judean art and architecture in the late Second Temple period (ca. 50 B.C.E.-70 C.E.), in order to try to contribute a new understanding from the conclusions reached. The rosette may be defined as a representation which resembles an open flower viewed from above, without attachment to a stem or tendril. It appears in both floral and geometric form, and was the predominant motif in the media of mosaic, stucco and stone. |
