Gaziantep Zeugma museum Maybe Akdeğirmen mosaic in 2024 7914.jpg

The mosaic is not from Zeugma, but from Akdeğirmen near Sarıbuğday Village of the Yavuzeli sub-province of Gaziantep. 5th century AD. Discovered in the 1970’s in. It was adjacent to an ambulatorium. It consists of two separate parts which are geometrical and figured. The figures are animals like a deer, sheep, bull and horse, birds, as well as plants. I think this is the part with figures. It looks as if it was burned or damaged in some such way. The picture was taken seconds after the ones with geometric motifs.
