The design of this rectangular mosaic, crafted from blue, green, red, yellow, and white tesserae, dates back to as early as the 5th to 4th Century B.C. Its presence in a private residence symbolized luxury and comfortable living. The mosaic features a variety of ornamental patterns tailored to personal tastes and home layouts. Notably, the border of this exquisite piece showcases a three-strand guilloche, where interlaced strands create a three-dimensional effect with intertwining colors.
