Byzantine medallion with the Virgin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Byzantine medallion with the Virgin, ca. 1100. One of nine medallions from a group of twelve that once surrounded an icon of the archangel Gabriel. The medallions may have been sent as a gift from the Byzantine court to the neighboring Christian state of Georgia. The three medallions across the top form a Deesis, with Christ between the Virgin and Saint John the Forerunner (the Baptist). Below is the hierarchy of the Church: apostles (Saints Peter and Paul), evangelists (Saints Matthew and Luke), theologians (Saint John the Theologian), and, across the base, military saints (Saint George). Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, USA.
