Description
Fragment of a monochrome mosaic (tiles made of white and black marble) which represents the figure of a ichthyocentaur with a marine horn in the right hand. It was part of a larger mosaic which depicted a procession of Neptune's sea creatures. It probably came from public baths near the Barcino forum.
