| Description |
English: This mosaic pavement of the fourth century AD was uncovered during foundation digs for the Central Bank building in Abidinpasha Street in the Seyhan district of Adana in 1964. Renowned poet Orpehus enchanted even the wild beasts when he played his lyra. The mosaic depicts Orpheus seated on a big rock plating his lyra and wild animals listening to his music. Orpheus holds his lyra with his left hand on the rock and plays it with his right hand. The lyra has a body of tortoise shell, arms of gazelle horn and seven strings. The animals flanking Orpheus include falcon, crow, horse, rabbit, bull, bear, panther or leopard, wild boar, elephant, lion, mountain goat, roe, monkey and heron. |
