Fragment of a Frieze from Bawit with the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2011
Miracle of Loaves and Fishes
Object Name: Frieze
Date: 6th–7th century
Geography: Egypt, Bawit
Medium: Limestone
Dimensions: Ht. 9 5/8 in. (24.5 cm) W. 4 1/2 in. (11.5 cm) L. 39 3/8 in. (100 cm)
Classification: Sculpture
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1910
Accession Number: 10.176.21
Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/1400...
On this heavily damaged stone, Christ sits enthroned under an arch, extending his right hand toward twelve baskets. Saint Mark the Evangelist (6:33-44) wrote that from a meager five loaves and two fish, Christ was able to feed a crowd of five thousand people- with twelve baskets of food left over, as here. In this depiction, angels stand to Christ's left and right; beyond them, apostles or saints carry books in their left hand and gesture with their right as if they were speaking or preaching.
