A 2100 year old Hellenistic Greek mosaic floor depicting the god Dionysos as a winged daimon riding on a tiger. In the House of Dionysos at Delos in the Cyclades Islands, Greece.
It is believed that this is the floor of a 'pool' which, when filled with water, cooled and freshened the breeze blowing through the house.
