Description
Content (description)
The outer border of the square mosaic consists of three rows of touching circles, overlaid with wavy bands of white. The central square is defined by a row of blue and another of purplish-pink stones. In this square is a saltire, the semi-circles of which have a bird, the corners a goblet. Inside the saltire is a small square, which touches the top of each semi-circle and is filled with the same pattern as the outer border. In the spaces between the semi-circles and the inner square are small horn-like objects.
