The 15 century old mosaic, preserved in good condition & traced to between the 4th & 5th centuries C.E., “is unique due to the large number of motifs incorporated together,” says Dr. Yigal Yisrael from the Israel Antiquities Authority.
A splendidly colorful mosaic, some 1,500 years old, was discovered recently in an open field near Kibbutz Beit Kama, located in the Bnei Shimon Region Council in the northern Negev.
The mosaic, which has been traced to somewhere between the fourth and sixth centuries in the Common Era, was discovered during an archeological dig conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority before the paving of a new highway interchange.
