Mosaic, Church of the Acropolis, Ma'in, Jordan

Mosaic of vase and floral motifs from the floor of the chapel of the Church of the Acropolis at Ma'in, Jordan, built 719-20, which forms part of the Archeological Park of Madaba. The iconoclastic conflict of the 8th century is in evidence here with the obliteration of a biblical scene from the Book of Isaiah and its later substitution by floral motifs.
