The Northern aisle: The mosaic is composed of 84 medallions arranged in three columns. Vines emerge from a vase at the western end and these form frames for the medallions. The central column contains mainly objects such as baskets, bowls and vases. Animals and birds, including peacocks, boar, horses and elephants, as well as a few human figures flank them. The whole is surrounded by a braided border. The third row from the east shows two offerers, one black and one white, flanking a chest which perhaps contains jewelry. The fifth row from the east shows two giraffes with the characteristics of camels. In the fourteenth row, two men lead a camel laden with a tree trunk. Artistically, the mosaic is related to mosaics in Madaba and in Gaza. In the apse to the east of the mosaic is a checkerboard mosaic. This is matched in the southern apse.
