Material study of Early Byzantine Cypriot wall mosaics Early Christian churches and basilicas in Cyprus were richly adorned with costly wall-mosaics constituted of tesserae set in a plaster attached to the wall. Many tesserae were made of coloured and opacified glass which bear ample testimony of the perfection in craftsmanship achieved by ancient glassmakers and give insight into the trade of raw materials in the Eastern Mediterranean region. The plaster is crucial for the good conservation of the mosaic and had to be adapted depending on the local weathering factors and the locally available materials. The investigation of both artificial materials provides a holistic description of the organisation of mosaic production in Early Byzantine Cyprus.
