For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Pair of Crescent-Shaped Earrings Subject The topic of the resource Early Byzantine late 6th-7th century 3.2 cm x 2.5 cm (1 1/4 in. x 1 in.) gold BZ.1952.13.1-2 Description An account of the resource Crescent-shaped earrings were the most popular style of Byzantine gold earrings in the sixth and seventh centuries. The jewelry was formed from sheet gold using the openwork technique, by cutting away the background and leaving the image as a positive in silhouette. The surface could then be engraved with details, as the surface is here, creating a more reflective and sparkling effect. Peacocks are shown in profile, facing each other on either side of an amphora. Peacocks were one of the favored images among the openwork earrings, others including generic birds combined with a fountain or a cross in the center. This style of earring was frequently edged as this one is, with beading and often with additional punch work and globules. Peacocks had been used as decorative motifs for many centuries in pagan Roman and Christian art. They were attractive not only because of the associations with their luxuriant and colorful plumage but also because it was believed that the flesh of these exotic birds did not decay after death. The peacock was therefore a symbol among pagans, gradually adopted by Christians, of immortality and of life after death in paradise. S.

(weft, sleeve to sleeve) 53.5 cm (20 1/16 × 21 1/16 in.) Tapestry weave in polychrome wool with embroidery in polychrome wool BZ.1970.46 Description An account of the resource This small, largely intact tunic features added decorative elements in tapestry weave and embroidery on a brown ground; there is significant soiling throughout the fabric. The neckline and sleeves of the tunic feature remnants of tapestry-woven decoration in red with crisscross details in beige. A small cross in light pink, pink, green, light blue, and blue is embroidered just beneath the curved neckline. The back of the tunic, near the neck, is similarly embroidered. There are small holes throughout and elements of patching, especially along the bottom. The tiny size of this tunic indicates that it was for an infant or toddler; the particular style of the neckline, which is cut open and reinforced on the right side, accommodated a small child’s head, and was probably once buttoned. The condition of the tunic suggests it was well-worn in life, and possibly repaired in antiquity. With their red ground and beige motifs, the decorative elements of the neck and sleeves reflected popular styles of adult dress, which in turn emulated silks (see BZ.1953.2.6 for further discussion). The placement of the embroidered crosses, likely added on at home, over the child’s neck and back were probably intended to have a protective function. —Elizabeth Dospěl Williams, May 2019 IIIF Item Metadata UUID 7852dc82-265d-4415-8c37-e13c89eec5e1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
