Mosaic, Museum of Madaba, Jordan
Mosaic of a medallion with the head of Adam from the House of Farid el-Masri in the Museum of Madaba, Jordan. The museum was made up of several old houses which contained Byzantine mosaics dating from the 5th to 7th centuries. This head is in the centre of a larger floor mosaic depicting four trees laden with fruit and figures of rams, hares, birds and a lion facing a zebu. It may represent the Biblical paradise from the Book of Isaiah. Picture by Manuel Cohen
