This image depicts a highly detailed marble mosaic floor within the Duomo di Siena, Siena, Italy. The central element is a large circular mosaic featuring a greyish-white she-wolf, with visible ribs, suckling two human infants. Above the wolf, a small tree with green foliage and yellow fruits is depicted, surmounted by the capital letters "SIENA." This central scene is set against a reddish-brown marble background. Encircling the main mosaic are multiple smaller circular medallions, each framed by concentric rings of white and reddish-brown marble. These medallions contain individual animal figures or symbols along with city names. Notable visible medallions include: * A lion facing right, labeled "FLORENTIA." * A white horse facing left, labeled "ARGITUM." * A stork-like bird facing left, labeled "TUS." * A white horse facing left, labeled "VITERBIVM." * A hare facing left, labeled "PISA." * A bird with a fish in its beak facing left, labeled "PERUGIA" (partially visible as "PERU"). * An elephant with a castle on its back, labeled "GROSSETO" (partially visible as "RO"). * A white deer or stag facing left, labeled "LUCCA" (partially visible as "LU"). The background of these medallions alternates between black and reddish-brown marble. Beyond the elaborate circular mosaic, the polished marble floor extends with intricate geometric patterns in black, white, and reddish-brown tiles. A thin red velvet rope on a short pole is visible horizontally in the upper part of the frame, indicating a restricted viewing area. Overhead light sources reflect prominently on the polished floor in the upper-center of the image. The perspective is an overhead, slightly angled view of the floor.
