The limestone tesserae are arranged in straight and curved lines to form the design of trifid calices and a sawtooth border. The
trifid calices and sawtooth border are framed by one line of grey tesserae. One line of black tesserae outlines the trifid calices.
Four lines of background tesserae surround the sawtooth border on one side and five lines on the other. The density of the tesserae
per 10cm2 is 9x10. The colors of the tesserae are off-white, black, grey, brown, light green, dark and light ochre.
