Description
This pavement is framed by a band of black tesserae and by a polychrome rope that intertwines all the geometric figures that make up the decorative scheme. It is a composition of five octagons, one central and four lateral, joined by oblong crosses and hexagons, with squares and trapezoids on the sides, and triangles at the corners.
