The wave motif is a frequently used motif in mosaic art since the early periods when pebble mosaics emerged. The motif, also called the sea wave, is generally two-colored and was frequently used as a border or frame decoration in many fields from textiles to architecture, from metal work to ceramics in ancient times. Among the main places where this motif is used are the Olynthus Double Sphinx Mosaic (425-375 B.C.), Olynthus Bellerophon Mosaic (380/370 B.C.), Olynthus Star Mosaic (400-350 B.C.). In Anatolia, Sinope Andron Mosaic (330-300 B.C.), Priene Wave Mosaic (300-250 B.C.), Assos Griffon Mosaic (250-175 B.C.), Assos Wave Mosaic (250-200 B.C.), Tarsus Dolphin Mosaic (225-175 B.C.), Kyme Dolphins Mosaic (250-175 B.C.), Pergamon Bath Mosaic (300-200 B.C.), Erythrai Griffon Mosaic (250-200 B.C.), Klazomenai Amphitrite Mosaic (230-200 B.C.) examples can be given. The wave motif appears as a border motif used in every period of mosaic art, even after the Hellenistic Period. In the publication titled Le décor géométrique de la mosaïque romaine, various variations of the wave motif are included under 11 headings on plate 101.
