group, which was also known as industrial arts, diptikons (boxes with
two lids), ivory plates, thuribles, kerosene lamps, different church
goods, golden glazed works, precious fabrics and goods made from
cooked earth can be listed.
Small-size jewelry and medallions are examples of golden decorative
goods, whereas the items in the church treasure, which were found
in Kumluca and smuggled overseas (some of which were brought
back), constitute examples of silver works of art.
During the Byzantine Period, embossments are also encountered.
Among these, an important example is the pedestals of the
sculptures erected in the hippodrome of the wagoner Porpehyrios in
the Topkap› Palace courtyard. The embossments inside of the
churches are seen on the ambones and parapet plates, which are
commonly encountered.
Whereas the works of art inside of ‹stanbul are presented in the
Istanbul section, Byzantine works of art in Anatolia too will be
addressed incidentally.
