Özet:

 The subject of the study is the mosaic panel depicting Aphrodite, which is in the main warehouse of the museum with inventory number 1913 in Düzce Konuralp Museum. The mosaic panel in question was planned to be smuggled from Syria to a different country by historical artifact smugglers, and was caught within the borders of Türkiye. It was taken to Konuralp Museum by confiscation in 2015. In the depiction on the mosaic panel, there is Aphrodite standing half-naked, and behind her is a clothed figure of Eros with Charis, one of Aphrodites assistants. In the study, firstly, the mosaics depicting Aphrodite in the literature were examined and it was observed that they were generally scenes depicting myths of the goddess such as Her Birth, Beauty Contest and AdonisAres Aphrodite Relationship. The Aphrodite-Ares Mosaic, which is one of the rare mosaic depictions featuring Aphrodite and the Charites together and is exhibited in the Shahba Museum today, attracts attention. Konuralp Aphrodite Mosaic and Shahba Aphrodite-Ares Mosaic were compared in terms of iconography and iconology, and similarities were determined. In this context, it has been revealed that the mosaic examined in the study is of Syrian As-Suwayda-Shahba origin, dating back to the 4th century.

 Çalışmanın konusunu, Düzce Konuralp Müzesinde 1913 nolu envanter numarası ile müzenin ana deposunda bulunan Aphroditenin betimlendiği mozaik pano oluşturmaktadır. Bahsi geçen mozaik panonun tarihi eser kaçakçıları tarafından Suriyeden farklı bir ülkeye kaçırılması planlanmış, Türkiye sınırları içerisinde yakalanmıştır. 2015 yılında müsadere yoluyla Konuralp Müzesine alınmıştır. Mozaik panodaki betimde ayakta yarı çıplak olarak verilmiş Aphrodite ve arkasında giyimli vaziyette, Aphroditenin yardımcılarından Kharisle birlikte Eros figürü yer almaktadır. Çalışmada, öncelikle literatürdeki Aphrodite betimli mozaikler incelenmiş ve genellikle Doğuşu, Güzellik Yarışması ve AdonisAres Aphrodite İlişkisi gibi tanrıçanın mitlerinin yer aldığı sahneler olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Aphrodite ve Kharitlerin bir arada yer aldığı nadir mozaik betimlemelerinden olan ve günümüzde Shahba Müzesinde sergilenen Aphrodite-Ares Mozaiği dikkat çekmektedir. Konuralp Aphrodite Mozaiği ile Shahba Aphrodite-Ares Mozaiği ikonografik ve ikonolojik açıdan karşılaştırılmış, benzerlikler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada incelenen mozaiğin 4. yüzyıla tarihlenen Suriye As-Suwayda-Shahba kökenli olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.
