The winged goddess Victory pours a libation to Apollo and Diana. Marble bas-relief by an unknown artist, 1st cent. BCE, heavily restored in the 18th century (the lower part alone is ancient, the upper part a restoration). Now in the Louvre.

clay triptych. I may make more of those at some point.
I am planning on glazing it like super deep (a translucent one so it's extra pretty) but I made absolutely no step towards it (I need to bisque fire it first, anyway).
(as a bonus, have the first test here below; I had to redo it because it didn't have the same size as the others, and after I finished it I changed my mind about the fixation system - still not sure about the one I chose tbh; do people have opinions on the best way to hold a ceramic tile to a wall? Can you just glue a hook-loop on the back and hope very strongly it doesn't fall?)

Quatrième et ultime étape de mon périple dans l'Ouest pour retrouver des ami(e)s lointain(e)s il y a un bon mois déjà : ma sœur Dominique et son mari, à Alençon, aux confins de la Normandie et des Pays de Loire.
Une balade à Sées. L'ombre d'un réverbère et un bas-relief Renaissance un peu mystérieux... Sur la dernière, les vestiges de l'église Saint-Pierre sur une motte féodale.

Early Medieval Bas-Reliefs on the facade of the Saint Michael`s Cathedral in Kyiv, 1907
The cathedral was destroyed by the Soviet government in 1936. While the interior frescos and mosaics had been stolen prior to the demolition and taken to Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the facade embellishments did not survive.

Today’s Flickr photo with the most hits shows a marble bas-relief that comprised part of the decorative motif of the Sebasteion, Aphrodisias, in present day Turkey. 
It shows Heracles hanging his cloak and bow-case on a herm of Pan, before his wrestling match with Antaios (one of his 12 Labours). Antaios is putting on his ear protectors.
