Maon, known today as Horvat Maon or Khirbat al-Main in Arabic, was an ancient city, situated 20km southwest of Gaza. The city developed in the fourth century during the Byzantine period, when it became the seat of the Emperor and was called \"Menois\". During this period, referred to in Jewish history as the Mishnaic and Talmudic Period, a Jewish Community developed there, reaching the height of its glory, in the sixth century.
In 1957, while paving a road, the remains of a Synagogue were discovered at the site. The Synagogue was divided by two rows of columns into three halls, a central hall and two side halls. The floor of the central hall was covered with a beautiful mosaic, of which only about two thirds remain. Dating from the sixth century, the mosaic is composed of 18 variations of colors, including reds, browns, greens, yellows, black, white and orange. The surface area of the mosaic measures 8.90 x 4.95 m and is bordered by a row of stylized flowers, alternately facing inwards and outwards. The center of the mosaic design consists of 55 loops, arranged in 11 horizontal rows, 5 loops in each row, giving the effect of bunches of grapes on vine branches flowing out of an amphora. Within the loops of the upper layers are Jewish symbols: in the two uppermost loops in the center column appears a Seven-Branched Candelabrum (Menorah), with a three-legged based resembling the paws of a lion. In the seven candleholders at the top of the Menorah, are burning oil lamps. Two lions flank the Menorah, each looking towards it. At the sides of the central stem of the Menorah are Etrogs (citrons), a Shofar, Lulav (palm branch) and two palmtrees with two doves, one on each side of the tree trunk. Within the remaining eight loops of the middle column are different objects – baskets of fruit, bowls, a goblet, an amphora and a bird in a cage. All the remaining loops depict animals and birds, all of which face the middle column of loops. It could be that the brilliant anonymous artist of this mosaic art carefully chose each of these motifs to express the yearning for the Temple in Jerusalem and renewed Jewish independence, on the part of the Jewish Community of Maon.
