1. Title: Byzantine Epoch Lintel from the Southern Church at Shivta: A Testament to Ancient Art and History This evocative image showcases a lintel, an ancient architectural element, carved from limestone. It originates from the Southern Church of the Byzantine period in Shivta, a historic site located in the Negev Desert, Israel. Dating back to the 4th to 6th centuries AD, this intricately designed lintel is a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of the Byzantine era. The lintel is adorned with various motifs that reflect the religious and symbolic significance of the time. The most prominent feature is the central cross, a symbol of Christianity, which is flanked by two animals, possibly identified as Adon or griffins. These animals are depicted with their mouths blanked, a common motif in Byzantine art, symbolizing silence and reverence. The Greek inscription above the cross is partially visible, providing a glimpse into the historical context of the lintel. The exact date and meaning of the inscription are yet to be deciphered, adding to the intrigue and allure of this ancient artifact. The lintel's intricate carvings and the use of limestone, a common building material in the region during the Byzantine period, demonstrate the advanced construction techniques and artistic style of the time. The preservation of this lintel in the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Byzantine period and the rich history of Israel. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the intricacies of Byzantine art and history and appreciate the beauty and significance of ancient artifacts.
