Polycandelon - R. Gabinetto Fotografico Naz.
Fragment of a copper-alloy (?) circular polycandelon, in the form of a pierced disk. The rim is decorated by vine tendrils and leaves, while the central openwork bears a chrismon with Alpha and Omega. Seven circular perforations on the arms of the cross and six squared ones on the rim, hosted the glass vessels.
