According to PPM –

“The right half of the mosaic threshold has been restored and has some differences in the termination of the rod that separates the shoots, understood as a branch with two divergent leaves. In the centre of the mosaic threshold is a six-petalled rosette inserted in a

circle flanked by the shoots.”
