xenia motif
The ''xenia'' motif in Roman mosaic is a still life motif consisting of a grouping of various items, mostly edible, representing a generous offering (a ''xenia'') from a wealthy host to his guests.
Typical elements of a ''xenia'' motif include game hanging from hooks, fish, baskets of fruit (often overturned), and the like. Vitruvius lists specifically "poultry, eggs, vegetables, and other country produce".〔''de Architectura'', (VI:7:4 )〕
''Xenia'' motifs are typically found in reception rooms.
The word ''xenia'' is Greek, and means 'hospitality'; in Latin, it came to mean presents for guests, and later presents in general. It also came to include a class of epigrammatic inscription attached to the presents, xenia epigrams.
