Polychrome mosaic of a Nile scene
This portrayal, inserted into a typical Nile backdrop, features sacro-idyllic scenes that suggest a ritual celebration and offering to the god Sobek in Crocodilopolis. A reed boats appears amid trees and bushes, flowers, aquatic birds and fish and a crocodile with its jaws wide open emerges from the waters onto an islet. Wearing a crown of roses, it is approached by two priests proffering a meal.
