Item Details

Description

Near East, late Roman / Byzantine Period, ca. 6th to 8th century CE. An attractive bronze finial in the form of a stylized peacock. The Byzantines regarded the peacock as a symbol of renewal and resurrection not only because of the manner in which its elaborate feathers fell out and grew again each spring, but also as it was believed that the flesh of the peacock did not decay. Fine images of the peacock depicted on marble panels, mosaics, and other pieces of art were also associated as an extension of heaven on earth; concurrently, many wealthy individuals were thought to have kept peacocks as pets to physically be closer to heaven and therefore live a more pious lifestyle. Size: 1.1" W x 2.1" H (2.8 cm x 5.3 cm)
