Abstract
This stateroom of the villa displays a multi-register mosaic entitled “The Little Hunt”. The entire mosaic is enclosed by 3 intertwined ribbons flanked by 2 serrated frames on the exterior and 2 wavy white and blue ribbons. The 1st register depicts the departure for hunting and the pursuit of a fox. The 2nd shows the transport of a captured wild boar, and a scene of sacrifice and offering to Diana. The 3rd register depicts an open-air banquet under a large red tent and 2 hunters with falcons. The 4th register shows a breakfast scene flanked by depictions of a fox chased by the dog and the capture of a hare. The 5th register displays a deer hunt with nets. In the lower right corner there is the killing of a wild boar, and a wounded hunter on the ground.
