This mosaic panel of the end of the third and fourth century AD [sic] was uncovered during foundation digs for the Central Bank building in Abidinpasha Street in the Seyhan district of Adana in 1964. The friezes divided in two by a black band depicts two Erotes hunting. Eros on the right is depicted wearing a pelerine over his shoulder and holding a spear in his right hand and a knife in the left. He is fighting a bear attacking him. On the ground are bushes and rocks. Eros on the left is about to shoot an arrow a a game. The panel is framed with a wide band of floral motifs, guilloche and plain black bands.
