The Peacock Mosaic of North Macedonia
This famous mosaic is an early Christian floor mosaic from the 5th-6th century AD, residing in a baptistery of the episcopal basilica in the ancient city of Stobi.
It is a key cultural symbol, famously featured on the North Macedonian 10 Denari banknote, the 2008 example in this artwork. Its belly has been reworked with pieces from around the world.
The peacock is a symbol of beauty and immortality, a recurring motif in Byzantine and early Christian art.
