| Title |
Plaque with Seated Prophet from a Reliquary Shrine: Heliseus (Elisha) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Object type | Enamel | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
Once used as decorations for a reliquary shrine, each enamel plaque represents a biblical prophet: Isaiah, Zacharias, Elisha, and Hosea. Fine gold dots punctuate dark blue backgrounds. Typical of Hildesheim enamels, this detailing creates the illusion that the prophets sit against star-studded twilight skies. |
