Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Üççam Mevkii in the Karlık village of the Sarıçam district, dated to the mid-sixth century AD. The mosaic was originally in the nave of the church and is arranged in small squares which are decorated with various animals and plants. The damaged Greek inscription in the rectangular frame in the centre is translated as “This work was done for the soundness of …. The fruit-bearer". The mosaics of the right side aisle depict bird, wolf and bear figures within plants. The mosaic before the apse is decorated with geometric compositions, stylised cross motifs and damaged stylized animal figures. The mosaic to the right of the apse features geometric motifs and a damaged inscription in Greek.
