Description
Art did not exist in Byzantium. Devotional objects - pectoral crosses, church mosaics, icons, and illuminated manuscripts - were regarded as infused with divine presence and used in religious practices. This book examines the means by which the relationship between the divine and the human was made manifest through crafted, material objects.
