Beth Alfa Synagogue Mosaic (c.527) by Byzantine Mosaics

The artwork entitled “Beth Alpha Synagogue Mosaic” was created by Byzantine artists around c. 527, employing the mosaic medium, characteristic of the Early Byzantine period (c. 330–750). The piece is a figurative representation, part of a larger series located at the Beth Alpha synagogue, situated in Beit She’an, Israel.

The artwork is composed of a detailed arrangement of colored mosaic tiles, forming intricate patterns and designs that reflect the religious and cultural influences of the period. The central motif appears to depict vegetative elements, using a combination of earthy tones and small geometric shapes. The refined craftsmanship is evident in the careful placement of tiles to achieve a balanced and harmonious aesthetic. This artwork serves as both a significant historical artifact and a testament to the artistic practices of the Byzantine era.
