Vikan, Gary, "Two Byzantine Amuletic Armbands and the Group to Which They Belong", The Journal of the Walters Art Gallery, 49-50 (1991 - 1992), 33-51.
- Resum
- This article has the twofold aim of introducing two unpublished amuletic armbands from the early Byzantine period, one in the Walters Art Gallery and the other in the Benaki Museum, Athens, and analyzing the group of twenty-two like objects to which they belong. The importance of these technically simple, relatively inexpensive pieces of jewelry lies in their unusually rich and varied iconography, which unites traditional pagan and Jewish magical elements with imagery newly developed for the famous Christian pilgrimage shrines of the Holy Land. The focus of this article will be on these armbands, and on the world of piety and belief from which they emerged.
