Stone phiales and fonts with relief decorationof the middle and late Byzantine periods from Greece
Abstract
A small number of stone vessels with relief decoration has survived from the sculpture of the middle and late Byzantine periods in Greece, which are identified with holy water phiales and fonts. Found only in significant churches and monastic katholika, these objects are examined as far as their shapes, decorative form, the presence of inscriptions, their different uses, their position in the church as well as their dedication practices are concerned.
