Golden table from Caesarea
During the excavation in Caesarea in 2005 on the area referred as “Bird Mosaic”, an especially rare find was recovered - glass opus sectile panel. Some of the glass platelets are gilded and some are colored. Probably it had been a “sigma”- shaped table (97 x 104 cm).

Ben Gurion Airport, Terminal 3: Exhibit in Memory of the Founder of the Antiquities Authority Major General (Res.) Amir Drori
In 2005 conservation measures were carried out on an exhibit of three mosaics in the new airport:
1. A mosaic floor decorated with birds draped with ribbon. Above: a Greek inscription meaning “Blessed shall thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shall thou be when thou goest out” (Deuteronomy 28:6). Beth Shean. 5th-6th century CE. [IAA No. 1960-500/1-22].
2. A mosaic floor decorated with vine tendrils and adorned with animal motifs, birds, trees, a basket of grapes and a conch. Beth Lehem Ha-Galilit. 5th-6th centuries CE. [IAA No. 1995-468].
3. A mosaic floor decorated with geometric patterns, animals, trees, buildings and a mounted figure. Standing in the center of the composition is a female figure holding a basket of fruit. Her rare Greek name “Clocaria” alludes to the anthromorphism of a good and bountiful season. Caesarea. 6th century CE. [IAA No. 2001-1053].

Caesarea, The Hipodrom Fresco
Built for the inauguration of the new city Caesarea Maritima by Herod the Great, the Hippodrome was in use between 10 BC and 300 AD. During this period, the Hippodrome was converted to an amphitheatre. The podium wall was repeatedly decorated with several schemes of painting, including running animals and floral decoration. The paintings are of international significance, being a rare example of their type.
