Abstract
The Indian dancer with quiver : re-reading of the painted scene at the sanctuary of Bois l’Abbé. The excavations of Gallo-Roman structures at Eu-“Bois l’Abbé” (Seine-Maritime), which were carried out between 1965 and 1978 and resumed since 1994, revealed an important cultural zone that was reshuffled by many phases of occupation. During the excavations of 2002, a survey revealed a plate of mural painting with a remarkable scenery. Because its ornamental vocabulary and its mortar were similar to the group of coating fragments studied in 1986, it was decided to re-examine these fragments in order to have an updated reading of them. The iconographie analysis of two human figures, one of which decorates the recently discovered plate, helps to exemplify the Dionysian and historical references. The building decorated by these paintings still waits to be studied. The stylistic analysis of this ensemble tends to be dated around 130-140 A.D.
