ERRATA:

It turns out that my Image of the Week, which I cited as a wonderful example of Byzantine mosaic, might not even be a mosaic at all. Rather, it could very well be a painting on wood.

That being the case, here's an actual example of Byzantine mosaic. Note, again, the details present in the color gradations of Christ's hair and beard. Note, again, the "glowing" nature of the work. And note Your Narrator covering up a moderately embarrassing goof. Sigh....
