Blog: Make Mine Mosaic Topics:mosaic, art, photography
Lots of stuff from Antakya actually. They have a unique mosaic museum there and it is fantastic!
I love these old mosaics, even though they are hundreds or even thousands of years old they preserve so well, much more so than other ancient art forms.
