Description

Tipario, or stamp used for blessed loaves, with a negative figure of Saint George of Lydda in a praying pose. The artifact has a circular shape and has a sturdy handle. The stylized figure of the saint appears beardless with a curly cap hairstyle, very large hands and legs spread apart. The saint wears a heavy embroidered tunic, tied at the waist by a belt with a cloak fastened by a fibula on the right shoulder. The figure of the saint is flanked by two palm trees, a symbol of the victory over martyrdom. Along the edge of the object an epigraph in Greek reads "Blessing of the Saint and glorious martyr George", while in the center a second epigraph identifies Saint George.
