Item Details
Description
1200-1500 AD, Byzantine. Hemispherical silver belt fitting showing double-headed eagle within a circle bordered by petals. The reverse preserves remains of a buckle. The double-headed eagle came to be used by the Roman Empire and its medieval successor state, the Byzantine Empire, because it stood for dominance over both East and West. This buckle therefore makes an ideological statement about Byzantine claims to power. Good condition. Size: H:30mm; 10.5g. Provenance: Property of a London gallery, previously in old British collection formed in the 1980s.
