Title
Plate from Lambousa, Second Pictorial Definitive Issue of the Republic of Cyprus, Republic of Cyprus
Description
This exquisite silver plate dating from the 7th century A.D. was discovered in 1902 together with other famous treasures in what was once the flourishing and wealthy city kingdom of Lambousa. The scene, that of the wedding of David and Mikhal younger daughter of King Saul, is embossed denoting a high standard of craftsmanship. It is interesting to note on the back of the plate what appears to be the earliest known hallmarks or whatever corresponded to them at that period. (R.Gunnis, Historic Cyprus) This plate is in the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia, while the other treasures are now in the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
