Tile - Palindrome of Sator - 37 x 38 cm - Marble of Istria


Beautiful bas-relief depicting the palindrome of Sator in Istrian marble. Provenance Venice, private collection. The Sator square is a recurring Latin inscription, in the form of a magic square, consisting of the following five words: SATOR, AREPO, TENET, OPERA, ROTAS. Their juxtaposition, in the order indicated, results in a palindrome, that is, a sentence that remains identical when read from left to right and vice versa. The same palindromic phrase is obtained by reading the words of the square from bottom to top as long as each line is read from right to left. The inscription has been the subject of frequent archaeological finds, both in stone epigraphs and graffiti, but its meaning and symbolic significance still remain obscure, despite numerous hypotheses. High-quality and exclusive work. Medium-sized, proportionate. It presents a very graceful patina and grain. Perfect when hung on a wall or placed on top of a tripod. Lot more unique than rare. It is in excellent overall condition, undamaged. Will be shipped with proper and appropriate packaging. Cheap, secure and traceable worldwide shipping. Pickup at our warehouse also available. Measurements: 37 x 38 x 5 cm Approx. weight 20 kg.
