Monochrome mosaic (black and white) from the impluvium in the domus of Casa Lladó (Badalona). The centre is occupied by a square within which there is a circle of triangles and a square in the middle with concave sides. The four corners of the square contain marine motifs: two angles with dolphin and trident, an angle with two dolphins with tails intertwined and the other angle with two dolphins flanking an octopus. Two of the sides are decorated with rows of triangles and diamonds.
