This is a presentation of beautiful colored mosaics. They originate
from buildings in the oasis of Jericho and all date from the first
half of the eighth century, during the time of Umayyad caliphate of
the early Islamic period. Many visitors have had the privilege of
seeing the mosaics revealed, but no one has experienced the impact
of all these pavements since they were first excavated in the 1930s
and 1940s. A few have been published, but the presentation in
Hamilton and Grabar (Khirbat al Mafjar: An Arabian Mansion in the
Jordan Valley, 1959) is only very fine aquarelle paintings from the
originals. In 2010 the Department of Antiquities and Cultural
Heritage uncovered, cleaned, and assessed the state of conservation
of these mosaics. A series of high-quality digital photographs was
prepared by a team from the Department, composed of M. Diab, N.
Khatib, Said Ghazal, Rafaat Sharaia, and I. Hamdan, under the
direction of ?. Taha, from which the present selection is offered
for study and appreciation of this triumph in early Islamic art.
These images speak for themselves.
