This is a photograph of the ceiling fresco in the Tomb of the Griffins, located in the Ancient City of Augusta, in modern-day Svilengrad, Bulgaria, not Konstantinovo. The circular fresco depicts a mythological scene with human figures and animals. In the center, there is a circular area with a reddish-brown hue, bordered by a lighter colored circular band. Radiating outward from the center, the fresco is divided into concentric rings filled with imagery. The outermost ring features a decorative border with geometric patterns and a band of red. Within this border, there are scenes of what appears to be a hunt or battle, with figures of humans, some on horseback, engaged with animals such as horses, dogs, and a boar. The figures are rendered in a classical style with distinct outlines and muted colors. The background of these scenes is a light, almost off-white color. The overall impression is of a dynamic and elaborate ancient artwork adorning the ceiling of a burial chamber.
