Description
A close view of a floor mosaic made of small tesserae. In the upper centre a small human figure in a short garment strides to the right, with a dark animal-like shape at the far left edge. Below, a border of leafy scrolls and a rosette-like motif runs across the image. Pale patches of damaged surface and mortar break up the lower-left and upper-right areas.
