Rare Byzantine Bronze Reliquary - Stepped on by Horse

Item Details

Description

Byzantine Empire, Medieval Period, ca. 12th to 14th century CE. A reliquary cross, an enkolpion: two pieces with a hinge at the top, capped by a cross and a thin ring for suspension. The body of the cross is simple and without ornament; the figure of Christ is projected forward from the cross. From a Metropolitan Museum of Art catalogue describing a similar piece, "Cross shaped enkolpia were widely produced during the Middle Byzantine Period, reflecting the popularity of these amuletic objects for the contemporary Byzantine. Combining the protective power of the sign of the Cross and the relics they were made to contain, these reliquary crosses continued and enhanced the Christian veneration for the sign of the Cross, a tradition well developed since the fourth century." Size: 3.3" L x 1.6" W (8.4 cm x 4.1 cm)
