EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Phylactery (Reliquary Pendant) from the Byzantine School, dating back to the 6th or 7th century. Crafted with copper alloy, this artifact measures approximately 3.20 cm in diameter and 7.80 cm overall length. The Phylactery is a remarkable example of early Byzantine artistry and religious devotion. Its intricate design reflects influences from both Egyptian and Syrian cultures, highlighting the rich cultural exchange during that period. This relic holds great historical significance as it represents a fusion of ancient civilizations. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this precious piece was generously gifted by Bruce Ferrini in memory of Robert P. Bergman. The museum's acquisition ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and study. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship flourished and spirituality thrived. The delicate details on the pendant mesmerize viewers as they contemplate its purpose as a reliquary - possibly containing sacred relics or amulets.
