Une enseigne de chirurgien à Chype au XVIe siècle
Abstract
The object of this study is the bilateral square icon (40×41,5×4 cm), once in the church of Panagia in the village of Klirou (Holy Metropolis of Tamasos and Oreini), which presents on both sides exactly the same iconography. Each side is divided horizontally in two registers: on the upper register the image of the Virgin Hodigitria is shown between Saints Cosmas and Damianos, on the lower one two surgeons attend (separately) a man on the left and a woman on the right. This unusual and unique object (in iconography and shape) can be identified as a surgeon’s practice sign, as we know them also in Western European cities.
