Iconography: The tree in this scene may suggest that the hunting scene in Venatores fragment 1 may not have taken place in an arena but rather in an open setting. However, this scene may be only connected loosely by theme with the figures depicted in Venatores fragment 1, and thus may not provide evidence for the type of hunt depicted in another section of the same floor. The animal depicted is perhaps a hunting dog.
