Qusayr Amra
These lozenges with animal figures are on the wall of the apodyterium, reached through a low doorway off the audience chamber. This is normally the first room of a Roman or Hellenic bath - essentially a changing room before entering the baths proper. The bear centre-left is playing a guitar-like instrument while to the right a monkey dances on its hind legs.
