- Lot Description
Near East/Holy Land, Byzantine Empire, ca. 600 to 800 CE. An elegant front facing vertical portrait of a saint, set within a rectangular 98% gold border (equivalent to 22K+) with raised edges and a glass inlay that protects the portrait. The saint's halo is clear, as are the outlines of his or her body, including a long robe and a necklace. A small loop for suspension, also made of gold, is affixed to the top of the border. The Byzantine period was a time of intense religiosity and immense wealth concentrated in religion. On the backdrop of the Crusades and the split between the Eastern and Western branches of the Church, religious jewelry like this played a significant role. Not only did it symbolize one's status, it also served to establish one's identity and loyalty. This lovely pendant is wearable with an included modern cord and clasp. Size: 0.55" W x 1.15" H (1.4 cm x 2.9 cm); length of chain: 19" L (48.3 cm); gold quality is 98%, equivalent to 22K+; total weight of pendant: 3.1 grams
Provenance: ex-Phoenicia Holyland Antiquities; ex-Fortuna Fine Art Gallery, New York, USA, March 22, 2007
