Detail of the narthex mosaic of the Martyrius monastery. This mosaic depicts gazelles, birds and a rabbit encircled by a tender vine that grows out of the amphora at bottom center. A border of medallions containing birds and flowers frames the mosaic. A wall dating to a later stage of construction cuts across the panel.
