The mosaics of the Villa Romana del Casale often depict
cherubs
in unrealistic contexts.
A detailed analysis of the mosaic ornament of this room, which is accessed through an internal entrance located on the north wall of the previous space,shows, on two registers, a generic scene, represented with extreme attention to detail.
Though the decoration of the mosaic does not make it possible to understand its specific intended use, it appears to be a fishing trip, surrounded by an idyllic landscape.
Between the two registers, in the wide expanse of water, there are two winged cherubs catching various types of fish with their bare hands.
