Byzantine Bronze Reliquary Cross of Saint Stephen

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Near East, Holy Land, Byzantine Empire, ca. 8th to 12th century CE. A fine bronze reliquary cross with a long body and projecting arms flare at the ends. The beautiful piece is incised with the image of St. Stephen topped with a halo and wearing an orarion over a dalmatic, as he holds a censer - a traditional attribute of his iconography - in each hand. His name - Saint Stefanos - is inscribed in Greek above him. Each end of the body displays a pair of loops that allowed the piece to be previously hinged to another side and possibly hold a relic within it. Size: 3.125" L x 1.875" W (7.9 cm x 4.8 cm)

Provenance: ex-Davis collection, Houston, Texas, acquired before 2013 from various auction houses in London and New York
