A Byzantine bronze icon from the 8th to 10th century AD is a religious artwork made of bronze, often decorated with gold or other materials. These icons typically show holy figures like Christ, the Virgin Mary, or saints. The bronze is carefully shaped and embossed with detailed designs. During this time, religious art became more focused on representing the divine rather than human features. These icons were used for personal prayer and public worship, reflecting the spiritual beliefs of the Byzantine Empire. They also show the skill of the artists and the connection between art, religion, and power.
