Mosaic on the Northern Aisle Floor of the Byzantine Church of Petra 550

This Byzantine mosaic from the 6th century depicts a variety of flora and fauna, arranged in circular frames. The mosaic is likely part of a larger decorative scheme for the Byzantine Church of Petra, in the style of early Christian art. The use of small, colored tesserae to create the image is characteristic of the Byzantine artistic tradition. The mosaic's decorative elements and stylized imagery reflect a style influenced by Roman and Near Eastern art, typical of the era.
