Byzantine Collection Highlights by Subject
< up a level
These portfolios contain objects with a common thread other than period or medium. In some cases, they are objects with related function, such as liturgical objects, icons, jewelry for private devotion, and jewelry to promote status. In other cases, the objects share iconographic themes, such as the image of the Emperor or figures from Greek and Roman mythology. Still other portfolios allow you to view works that were found together, such as the 6th-century horde known as the Sion treasure, or artifacts from the excavations at Antioch.
