Description
English: Silver with niello - D: 56 cm. Byzantine Period, 6th century A.D. - Korydalla (Kumluca) - A. 1054 A circular polycandelon designed to support the suspension of twelve glass lamps around the edge, symbolizing the 12 Apostles, and four lamps forming the cross in the middle, also symbolizing the 4 Evangelists. Decorated in openwork with a cross in the centre. Inscriptions carry the name "Bishop" twice and "Euthycianus" twice and a circular band carries a nielloed inscription reading: "In fulfillment of a vow and for the salvation of Euthycianus, most humble bishop". The outer circular band is decorated with four crosses, spirals and the twelve round spaces for lamps. The reverse has four suspension loops for the suspension of this multiple lamp-holder (Polycandelon) from the roof of an ecclesiastical building.
