He holds a cross and strokes a lamb at his feet. The scene is set against a rocky landscape with buildings and a bridge in the background.

Date: 629-630.In 628-29 the Byzantine emperor Herakleios (r. 610-41) successfully ended a long, costly war with Persia and regained Jerusalem, Egypt, and other Byzantine territory. Silver stamps dating to 613-29/30 on the reverse of these masterpieces place their manufacture in Herakleios's reign. The biblical figures on the plates wear the costume of the early Byzantine court, suggesting to the viewer that, like Saul and David, the Byzantine emperor was a ruler chosen by God. Elaborate dishes used for display at banquets were common in the late Roman and early Byzantine world; generally decorated with classical themes, these objects conveyed wealth, social status, and learning. This set of silver plates may be the earliest surviving example of the use of biblical scenes for such displays. Their intended arrangement may have Pseudo Melioli, A Fruit Offering, late 15th early 16th century A Fruit OfferingGold Mughal coin of Emperor Akbar, Agra 1556-1605 This gold coin carries ornate Persian inscriptions which include the names of Persian months.
