The Famous "Lion-Gazelle Mosaic" of Jericho. Preserved inside the Reception Hall (Diwan) of Hisham's Palace or Khirbat al-Mafjar (8th Cent. AD)-Jericho. One of the best preserved and most beautiful moasics in the 'Holy land'.

Remind you these beautiful designs are not painting work, but made of joining small pieces of natural coloured stones!
