Scenes from Tree of Paradise - Jewish Roman Mosaics from Tunisia

05.27 Mosaic of Menorah, by an unknown Roman Artist found in Tunis, Tunisia, from the 3rd century-5th century A.D.

Menorahs are seven-branched oil lamps. The Brooklyn Museum says the shape of the menorah resembles the one shown as plunder on the Arch of Titus, meaning it is a Second Temple period menorah. What the seven lights represent has been variously interpreted to refer to the days of the week, the planets, or the presence of God.
