Description
The mosaic floor fills the whole frame, with tendrils, leaves and grape clusters curling across its surface in the upper half. A large round medallion in reddish and dark tesserae sits near the centre. At lower left a figure in dark outline stands on the pavement. Sand and loose soil lie against the edges of the exposed tesserae.
