From the Getty Museum record

Fragment of a mosaic depicting a lion chasing a bull, running to the right. Only the head and a front paw of the lion are preserved. The lion is biting the hind-quarters of the bull, which bleeds into the lions mouth. To the right of the bull is vertical line, possibly the edge of a border or some other figural element. The mosaic is very well preserved.
