Mosaic Icon with St. Demetrios and Reliquary
While the mosaic dates to 14th century Constantinople, the above ampulla is from 13th-14th century Thessalonike, and would have borne holy oil drawn from the well in which the body of Demetrios reposes, according to the inscription. The metal revetment dates to mid-15th century Italy.
