Mosaic, Burnt Palace, Archeological Park of Madaba, Jordan
Mosaic of a hunting medallion within an acanthus scroll from the border of the mosaic in the Eastern wing of the Burnt Palace, forming part of the Archeological Park of Madaba, Jordan. The Palace was a late 6th century private mansion destroyed by fire and earthquake in 749 AD. Its name stems from the thick ashy layer overlying the mosaic pavement when excavated.
