Description
This phiale was probably taken from inside a church. Under the Byzantine empire, many churches were erected across Eastern Europe.
Engraved on the phiale one may distinguish a Patriarchal cross, which is a variant of the Christian cross. It is linked to Byzantine Greek and Eastern European iconography, as well as Eastern Orthodox churches.
