Many collections of Byzantine gold- and silverware, such as Vrap and Seuso, have been surrounded by controversy. None, however, has been under more suspicion than the Velestino hoard, particularly with regards to its authenticity. The hoard contains no gold and no silver, and is in fact a collection of bronze and leaden plaques, some with human, and others with animal or geometric representations. The authors examine three distinct aspects of the hoard: the iconography of its components, the method of its production, and the function of those components. The conclusions that they reached provide valuable new insights into eighth-century Byzantine culture. The book explores the Byzantine cultural and political context of the Velestino hoard and will appeal to historians and art historians of early Byzantium, as well as archaeologists and historians of early medieval technologies.. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Casting Technology; Aesop‘s Fables; Byzantine Archaeology; Hoarding; Forgery; Christian symbolism; Michael | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-04846-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-04846-4Series ISSN 2730-9363 Series E-ISSN 2730-9371 | issn_series | 2730-9363 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
