Star of David Lod Mosaic
Stars of David as a framework for animals on a Roman Mosaic Floor from the 3-4 th century C.E. discovered in Lod, Israel, by Miriam Avissar in 1996.Size: 19x9 square meters.
Although the star seems round note the hexagon surrounded by six triangles, which is a form that is acually seen in every “empty" Star of David which is composed of two equilatteral triangles, but here a Guilloche separates between the hexagons and the triangles.

Berber Six pointed Stars
Six pointed Stars above mysterious marks carved on a Berber stone lamp bought recently by David Mimon while visiting the Sahara Desert, Morocco. If you can decipher this writing you are invited to write to Eli Eshed, who published an article about this lamp in his blog: "the universe of Eli Eshed". It seems to me that the Hebrew word on the right is "cancer".
