Object Description
A Byzantine bronze round component of a hanging polycandelon, featuring a flat section ring with nine round holes. The disc would have been held by its three bronze chains and hung from the hook at the top, which all remain intact. These chains are attached to a suspension ring, from which a shorter bronze chain also hangs. Candles would have been placed in the round circles of the disc to illuminate the environment.
Date: Circa 6th-9th Century AD
