Byzantium Chalice Calyx Heliotrope
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artifact known as the Calyx Chalice, originating from Byzantium during the Middle Byzantine period (843-1261). Crafted between the 900s and 1000s, this exquisite piece is made of blood jasper, also known as heliotrope, adorned with gilt-copper mounts. Measuring at an overall height of 7.7 cm (3 1/16 in. ), this chalice exudes elegance and craftsmanship that was characteristic of Byzantine artistry during this era. The deep red hue of the blood jasper adds a sense of mystery and allure to its appearance. The intricate gilt-copper mounts further enhance its beauty, showcasing the skillful metalwork that was highly valued in Byzantium. These embellishments not only add visual appeal but also serve to protect and reinforce the delicate structure of the chalice. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where such masterpieces were created for religious or ceremonial purposes. The Calyx Chalice stands as a testament to the artistic achievements achieved by artisans during this period.
