Description

Narrow border of white lozenges between black and blue-green triangles below the edge of what was perhaps a framed figural scene executed in brown-black and bluish-green tesserae on white. The laborious use of small tesserae indicates that this was probably part of the floor's expensive central panel.

Credit Line Gift of Mrs. R. Hare Davis, 1950
