Originally hailing from Asia Minor, this remarkable artifact now resides in the prestigious Byzantine Museum in Athens. The image depicts a serene scene of Christian devotion, featuring the iconic figures of the Virgin Mary and her beloved son, Jesus Christ. The vibrant colors used in this mosaic are particularly striking, with shades of blue dominating the composition.
