EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pilgrims Flask with Saint Menas, dating back to 500-700 AD. Crafted from terracotta, this artifact is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The flask bears the image of Saint Menas, an early martyr of the Christian Church who was revered for his miracles and healing powers. His shrine was located in the desert southwest of Alexandria in Egypt. These flasks were believed to have been used by pilgrims visiting the saint's tomb to hold oil taken from the lamp that burned there. Manufactured near the shrine itself, these pilgrim flasks often feature decorative elements that hint at their place of origin. In this particular piece, we can observe intricate details and symbols associated with Byzantine art and Egyptian culture. Donated by Bruce Ferrini in memory of Robert P. Bergman, this artwork serves as a testament to ancient religious practices and beliefs. It offers us a glimpse into history while highlighting the artistic skills and craftsmanship prevalent during that time period. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are able to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty embodied within this remarkable Pilgrims Flask with Saint Menas.
