FIELD OF HADJI CAPTAN. 295
This mosaic Avas too much damaged to be
taken up.
At the south end of this picture were two dolphins
(D, b, 2, 3), their heads confronted, with a trident
between them; and on the Avest side was a white
border, studded with lozenges, twenty-nine in
number.
The colours used in these lozenges were red,
orange, white and black (D, b, star border).
Next to this border, and occupying nearly the
centre of D, b, were two pictures. The one on the
north (D, b, 4<) represented Europa standing by the
side of the bull, whose head is turned back towards
her. Europa wears a wreath; her body is naked
from the neck to halfway clown the thigh ; a blue
jpeplos passes across her lower limbs. The bull is of
a tawny colour, with stripes of crimson and white.
This group was in a better condition than any of
the other mosaics in this field, and was interesting
as a specimen of drawing.
To the south of this picture were two smaller
ones, of which the upper one had perished. That
below it (D, b, 5) represented a water nymph re-
clining ; her right arm rests on an urn; in her left
hand she holds a flower. The upper part of her body
is naked; over her lower limbs is thrown a blue
peplos; at her feet is a tree. The head of this
figure was destroyed.
At the north-east angle of this picture was a bird
pecking at a flower (J), b, 5*). This bird was placed
at right angles to the female figure, the head of the
bird pointing west. It was, however, included in the
