ROMAN MOSAIC PANEL WITH GEOMETRIC AND VEGETAL MOTIFS

Small diamond-shaped ornaments occupy the spaces between the circular elements, creating a balanced and symmetrical composition. The decoration is executed in tesserae of cream, brown, reddish-pink and muted green, with darker outlines defining the individual motifs. A narrow geometric border frames the entire composition.
