Polychrome mosaic formed by nine tondi arranged in three lines, and framed by a square with a rope-like frieze. The tondi combine plant and geometric motifs: a star with ten rounded arms and a central floral motif framed by concentric circles and a final crown of olive leaves; each tondo is surrounded by a garland of vine leaves, while the spaces between them are occupied by diamond shapes with floral compositions inside.
