The Panel of Ark of Covenant; Zodiac Mosaic of Severus Synagogue (4th Cent. AD)-Hammat Tiberias National Park.

The 'Ark of the Covenant' in the panel is  flanked by two 7-branched menorahs;  a pair of trumpeting horns (shofar) and incense shovels. The 4 species from the feast of Tabernacles/Sukkoth (lulav/datepalm branches, etrog/citron fruit, hadas/myrtle and aravah/willow branches) are not clear from the pictures I took as the shadow from the sun is concealing them..
