The "Choir Floor" mosaic, created by Byzantine artists in the 6th century, is a stunning example of intricate craftsmanship. Located in the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy, the mosaic features a central motif of a stylized tree with twisting vines and small birds, surrounded by peacocks and other geometric patterns. This decorative design, typical of Byzantine art, incorporates small colored stones arranged in a meticulous pattern, creating a visually captivating and richly detailed surface.
