I’m going out on a limb here and will assume this was installed just outside a bar.

The mosaic was unearthed in 2013 in Antiochia on the Orontes (present day Antayka in Hatay Province). It was the capital of the Seleucid Persian Empire because of the Silk Road trade.
Skeleton dining room mosaics seemed common. Here are two from Pompeii and Rome ~1st century BC
