EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Ma daba mosaic map, depicting The City of Jerusalem and its surrounding area. Created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century, this exquisite mosaic was discovered in 1884 as part of the floor of one of the ancient churches in Ma daba, Jordan. The intricate artwork extends from Byblos to Thebes, offering a remarkable glimpse into cartography during that era. With its meticulous town plan and inscriptions, this early Christian pavement serves as an invaluable historical artifact. The Church of Saint George in Ma daba is home to this extraordinary masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Its vibrant colors and precise details are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Byzantine artists. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back centuries ago when Jerusalem flourished with life and culture.
