EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of three plaques from a throne believed to be from Grado, dating back to either the 6th-7th or 11th century. The plaques, made of ivory, showcase the remarkable craftsmanship of the Byzantine School. Standing at a height of 19 cm, these delicate ivory leaves are now housed in Castello Sforzesco in Milan, Italy. Each plaque tells its own story through detailed relief carvings. One panel depicts a saint seated on a majestic throne with an open book before him, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. Another plaque portrays Saint Paul engaged in writing, showcasing his role as an early Christian figure spreading the teachings of faith. The third plaque showcases a scene depicting a male figure bestowing blessings upon his faithful followers. The level of detail and precision in these carvings is truly awe-inspiring. These plaques were likely part of an imposing cathedra used for benedictions and religious ceremonies during medieval times. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistry that existed centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion to spirituality throughout time.
