A Palestinian farmer has discovered an ornate Byzantine floor mosaic while trying to plant an olive tree on his land in the Gaza Strip.
Salman al-Nabahin said he and his son had been digging into the ground when they unearthed the relic.
They later uncovered several more sections depicting colourful animals and birds.
Experts have called it one of the greatest archaeological treasures ever found in Gaza.
