Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Considers two objects (a gold pectoral cross and a portable altar) which are decorated with a similar abstract design and a third (St Cuthbert's coffin lid) with a figural version of the same composition. The design, widely used in early Byzantium and later in Western Europe as a symbol of sanctity, is that of a `Quaternity' representation of the four evangelists who spread the message of Christianity, set around the `Unity' who brought the message to the world, Christ (ie four symbols grouped round a fifth). | ||
