BYZANTINE FIGURAL PLAQUE 7th-10th century AD A bronze rectangular flat-section plaque or weight with low-relief motif of a standing two-headed figure. 5.17 grams, 20mm (3/4"). Fine condition. Provenance Property of a London collector; acquired before 1980. Footnotes This is probably a folk amulet depicting a schematic representation of two saints. Images of paired saints at this period are limited to a known few which would suggest that the figures could be Saints Sergios and Bacchos, two very popular Byzantine saints who were associated with doctors and healing.
