EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Door Plaque with the Head of a Saint, dating back to the 6th century Byzantine period. Crafted in bronze and measuring approximately 18.50 cm in height, 17.20 cm in width, and 1.60 cm in depth, this exquisite artifact is housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The true purpose of this remarkable plaque remains shrouded in mystery; however, it is believed to have once been gilded and potentially affixed to a wooden door. The intricate details carved into the bronze depict the face of a saint with utmost precision and skill. The halo surrounding the saint's head signifies their divine status within Byzantine religious iconography. This piece holds great significance as it represents not only artistic mastery but also offers us glimpses into ancient Syrian and Byzantium cultures. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mallon to the museum, this historical treasure now resides within its walls for art enthusiasts from around the world to admire. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this stunning artwork through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its delicate craftsmanship even from afar. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back centuries ago when such masterpieces adorned sacred spaces or served as symbols of faith for those who encountered them daily.
