Silver Plate with Monogram in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2010

Silver Plate with Monogram in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2010
Silver Plate with Monogram
Decoration worked in niello
Byzantine

Accession # 52.25.2

Plates like this were made in sets for use in wealthy homes. The Greek letters at the ends of the cross-shaped monogram may refer to the owner, Theodore A (?). The control stamps on the back of the plate date it early in the reign of the emperor Herakleios ( 610-41).
