EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the early Byzantine period, specifically the 6th century. The Button 500s Byzantium is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined this era. Made of rock crystal, its translucent beauty is enhanced by a garnet mounted in a gold granulated star at its center. Measuring at an impressive diameter of 3.1 cm (1 1/4 in. ), this button exudes elegance and sophistication. Its intricate design reflects the artistic sensibilities of Byzantium during this time, with delicate granulation work adorning the golden star motif. The combination of precious materials such as rock crystal, garnet, and gold highlights both the opulence and spiritual significance attributed to buttons during ancient times. Buttons were not merely functional objects but also symbols of status and identity. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back centuries ago when fashion was intertwined with artistry. This button would have adorned luxurious garments worn by individuals who appreciated fine aesthetics and desired to make a statement through their attire. The Liszt Collection has expertly captured every minute detail of this extraordinary piece, allowing us to appreciate its historical value even today.
