Mosaic floor from the Scardana Quarter.
The central panel depicts Athena on the left holding a spear and her owl, and opposite her stands Hermes holding the caduceus. Between them, a female figure sits with an infant on her knees. It probably represents Hermes bringing infant Dionysus to the Nymphs. The border depicts bull-heads and theatrical masks among floral motifs.
Exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Delos. Delos island, Greece.
