Apparently, mosaics often adorned the walls and ceilings of various buildings. This depicts athletes in training and was, if memory servers me correctly, probably from a gymnasium or arena. I actually have NO idea what the bull is doing there.
Here is a close up of the right foot. It is actually very impressive!
As I have been looking at mosaics over the last few posts, I remembered I actually created one once as part of an elementary school art project. Of course, that was 100 years ago.
No one could see what it obviously was. Crushed, I turned my life away from art forever. Dog's playing poker is a HARD thing to do in a mosaic! Now Elvis, ANYONE can do that!
