This round mosaic is a segment of a larger pattern composed of intersecting arcs that together formed a series of cross shapes. It represents a variant of the Rainbow style, characterized by vivacious geometric designs executed in multicolored bands. Such carpet-like patterns were commonly used in the pavements of Roman houses and early Christian churches. Syria, Asia
