This rectangular carpet mosaic situated west of the geometric panel, in the center of the nave, covers the zodiac panel. The panel is centerd by a circular polychrome rosette, with two concentric circles in its center. A circular frame, consisting of tanget outlined squares, encloses the rosette. The carpet mosaic depicts intersecting octagons, forming central emphasized squares, and four elongated hexagons. Within each square and octagon, a geometric design is depicted. The mosaic is enclosed within a wide striped frame, composed of equilateral triangles.
