Description
Two animals run in profile across a light tessellated ground in a horizontal band. The larger animal on the left has curved horns and stretched legs, while the smaller spotted animal on the right follows closely. Darker geometric bands with diamond patterns run along the top and bottom edges, and a plain white plaster surface appears at the right and lower corners.
English
A section of floor mosaic shows a horned animal leaping to the left and a smaller dog-like animal chasing it to the right. Geometric borders frame the scene, and shadows fall across the tesserae.
