Medusa mosaic floor in the Odeon of Kibyra, close to Gölhisar (Turkey). Very modern in appearance
The mosaic was built of colored marbles with the opus sectile technique in which materials were cut and inlaid into walls or floors to make a picture or pattern, in the first phases of the first century A.D.
Stunning!
