Octagon in shape this mosaic is bordered by black and yellow lines. Concentric circles in the middle open out into a fan-like pattern composed of eight sections, each containing abstract patterns crenulated on the sides in different colors. In the center of the inner circle is a small open area from which four 'spokes' radiate with triangles in between, giving the impression of swirling motion. This mosaic has been reconstructed using ancient and modern materials.
