Um die Granate fein punzierte Spitzovale. In den Feldern zwischen den Granaten fein punzierter Dekor: herzförmige Blätter, von denen nach links und rechts zwei Spiralranken ausgehen. Ca. 1,4 cm hoher Rand, in der Mitte eine umlaufende Kerblinie. Auf der breiten Vorderseite des Randes eine jetzt beschädigte Öse aus Draht, auf der rückwärtigen Seite hinten links ein profiliertes Scharnierband mit zwei Befestigungsnieten erhalten, auf der rechten Seite ausgerissen. Reste von Inkrustationen und Oxyden auf der gesamten Oberfläche. Breite 10,4 cm. Tiefe 8,7 cm.
Selten schönes Fragment eines frühbyzantinischen Reliquiars.

The top of the lid adorned from beneath with chased decoration along the edge and re-chased on the top: the outside with a row of small, hemispherical bosses, followed on the inside by a gilt floral frieze. The latter bordered on the inside by a soldered band of narrow, crosshatched sheet metal, several small pieces of which have broken off. A 5.5 cm cameo of Christ in laminated glass mounted in the centre, set in a frame measuring circa 8 mm. Four circular settings with garnet cabochons in the corners, one of which has been lost. A delicate pointed oval setting punched around each garnet. Fine stippled decoration in the spaces between the garnets: heart-shaped leaves, from which two tendrils extend in spirals to the left and right. The edge circa 1.4 cm high, with a continuous line of notches in the centre. A (damaged) wire eyelet on the broad front side of the edge; a profiled hinge strap with two rivets is still preserved on the left-hand side at the rear, the right-hand strap is missing. Remnants of incrustation and oxides over the entire surface. Width 10.4 cm. Depth 8.7 cm.
An exceptionally exquisite fragment of an early Byzantine reliquary.
Provenance: From a private collection in Lower Bavaria, inherited from the consignor's father.
