This print showcases a Door Plaque with the Head of a Saint, dating back to the 6th century Byzantine period. Crafted from bronze, this remarkable artifact measures 18.5 x 17.2 x 1.6 cm (7 5/16 x 6 3/4 x 5/8 in. ) and emanates an air of ancient mystique. The intricate details carved into this door plaque are truly awe-inspiring. The delicate features of the saint's face are expertly rendered, capturing a sense of serenity and devotion that is characteristic of Byzantine art. The craftsmanship displayed here is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans who created it centuries ago.

Its historical significance cannot be overstated, as it provides us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this time period. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but wonder about its original purpose - was it meant to adorn an important religious building or perhaps serve as protection for a sacred space?
