The panel once formed one of the four walls of a rectangular box or cross base. Another fragment from the same object, with images of the Raising of Lazarus and Dormition (Death) of the Virgin, is now in the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg (inv. Omega 265). 匿名 (東ローマ帝国) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source: Wikimedia Commons  Steelyard weights shaped like the bust of an empress were common in the early Byzantine period. 匿名 (東ローマ帝国) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source :Wikimedia Commons  The box is one of a small number to survive from the 4th through 7th centuries, most carved with mythological (pagan) or Christian subjects. Often called "pyxides" (Greek for "boxes"), they served a variety of functions, such as holding incense or a woman's jewelry. The walls of this one contain two episodes from Greek mythology. First, the Olympian gods are seen feasting around a tripod table and holding the golden Apple of the Hesperides. In the next scene, Hermes is awarding the apple to Aphrodite, whom he chose over Athena and Hera (shown to her sides) as the most beautiful among goddesses. 匿名 (東ローマ帝国) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source :Wikimedia Commons  This plaque depicts the Crucifixion with the mourning Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist. Apart from the inclusion of a canopy supported by columns, this ivory also differs from its contemporaries in its style; here the artist has carved his figures with much rounder faces and softer folds of drapery. 匿名 (東ローマ帝国) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source: Wikimedia Commns  This dish is dated by the silver hallmarks (stamps) on its back to the early years of the reign of Heraclius, Byzantine emperor in AD 610-41. The center of the dish is decorated with a vine border and bears the monogram of the owner, Theodore. Two other dishes from the same set are in New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, inv. 52.25.2 and Washington DC, Dumbarton Oaks Museum, inv. BZ.1960.60. 匿名 (東ローマ帝国) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source: Wikimedia Commns  This ivory follows the common model of a Byzantine scene of the Virgin on her deathbed surrounded by Christ, the apostles, and angels. Here, the Virgin's child-like soul is depicted twice: on the left, an angel receives the soul; on the right, the same angel carries it to paradise. Since the figures' eyes and noses are similar to those carved on ivories in 11th-century Germany, this plaque may be a western European copy after a Byzantine prototype. Byzantine (?)German (?) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source: Wikimedia Commns  The celebration of the Divine Liturgy is one of the most important ceremonies in the Christian Church. This reliquary is part of a silver service (with Walters 57.634, 57.635, 57.642, 57.644, 57.645, 57.646, 57.650, and 57.649) that is one of only four to survive from the first "golden age" of Byzantium (6th century). This silver service was found in Syria in 1910, in the village of Kurin. The Greek form of its name, Kaper Koraon, is inscribed on several pieces in the treasure, including a chalice, which reads: "...treasure of the Church of St. Sergios of the village of Kaper Koraon." Almost all of the vessels record the names of donors who gave pieces from their private dinner services in fulfillment of a vow, to gain divine blessing, or in prayer for salvation. 匿名 (東ローマ帝国) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source: Wikimedia Commns  The celebration of the Divine Liturgy is one of the most important ceremonies in the Christian Church.

The hoop of the key fits like a finger ring, and the short barrel can be folded into the palm of the hand. Unlike the teeth on modern keys, the slotted holes on this example are purely decorative, while the small crosses were intended to protect the owner's possessions. 匿名 (東ローマ帝国) - ウォルターズ美術館: Home page Info about artwork, パブリック・ドメイン, リンクによる Source:Wikimedia Commons 美術・ギャラリー４へつづく |
