Getty Villa: Wrestlers. No, NOT Jesse the Body!

Apparently, mosaics often adorned the walls and ceilings of various buildings.  This depicts athletes in training and was, if memory servers me correctly, probably from a gymnasium or arena.  I actually have NO idea what the bull is doing there.  

Here is a close up of the right foot.   It is actually very impressive!

As I have been looking at mosaics over the last few posts, I remembered I actually created one once as part of an elementary school art project.  Of course, that was 100 years ago.

No one could see what it obviously was.   Crushed, I turned my life away from art forever.  Dog's playing poker is a HARD thing to do in a mosaic!  Now Elvis, ANYONE can do that!
