Mosaic Icon of Christ
This Byzantine mosaic from the 14th century is on the first floor of Aya Sofya. It represents the Christ, and on the right, I assume the writing "Οαγιος Ιω." refers to Saint John the Baptist.

Mosaic - portrait
Not sure how big this is but it is just exquisite... Glass Museum in Corning New York.
Green Woman
HER SPIRIT moves wind chimes
When air is still
And fills the rooms
With fragrance of Lily
Her eyes blue green
Still seen
Perfectly happy
With Nothing
Her spirit talks to me
Through animals
Beautiful creature
Lay with me
Bird that calls my name
Insists that she is here
And nothing
Left to fear
Bright white squirrel
Foot of tree
Fixes me
With innocent gaze
HER SPIRIT TALKS TO ME (By Paul McCartney)
