The nymph daphne is transformed into a laurel tree as she flees from the amorous pursuit of the god apollo. the nymph is depicted in the midst of metamorphosis with laurel branches springing forth from the earth to envelop her. the god, his head crowned with a shining aureole, reaches out to grasp her. Apollo is depicted here as a hunter, wearing a laurel wreath on his head. though most of the individual stones (tesserae) are stone, a few are made of glass, including some in his sandals, cloak, and crown, and in the ground. this fragment was once part of a floor mosaic excavated in antioch, a prosperous ancient city in today’s syria.
