It is a prime example of Byzantine art, renowned for its intricate details and vibrant colors. The mosaic depicts Christ surrounded by the four Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, each within a circular frame. The depiction of Christ in the center, adorned with a nimbus and cross, highlights his divine authority. The mosaic's background is a vibrant blue dotted with gold stars, signifying the heavenly realm.
