Description
Circa 6th-8th century A.D. Tongue-shaped pendant with integral loop, obverse with stylised figure of a horseman spearing a creature, lion below and text surrounding 'EIC ???? ? ??????? ', reverse with stylised angel and legend '[KONCTA]NT???Y'. Cf. for some of the represented symbols on medallions Wamser, L., Die Welt von Byzanz - Europas Östliches Erbe, München, 2004, items 577, 582, 585. 9.55 grams, 62 mm (2 1/2 in.).

From the collection of a gentleman, acquired on the London art market in the 1990s.

The amulet has a prophylactic element asking the divine protection of a military saint (probably Saint Sisinnius, or Saint George or Saint Theodore) with the inscription 'Winning for God'. The amulet seems to belong to a certain Konstantinos, probably a soldier.
