Sulla scultura
This relief originally acquired in Constantinople is probably made in the fifteenth century. It represents the Dormition of the Virgin on one side and a foliated cross on the other side. It was formerly suggested to be Byzantine, but some elements of the present roundel, such as the form of the church buildings, suggest a non-Constantinopolitan origin, probably in the Balkan Peninsula. The roundel presumably served as an enkolpion, and the green staining on the outer edge indicates that it was mounted in a metal frame which probably had a suspension ring.
