Description
English: Vilgort Byzantine cup

1150-1159 A.D., Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, or Turkey (1078-1375). Cup. Silver, gilding, black enamel. 12th-13th centuries. Provenance: received by the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1925. Discovered in 1925 in the village of Vilgort (East Urals).

Depicts Digenes Akritas and his wife Eydokia (alternatively spelled Eudocia in English-language translation), from the romance story Digenes Akritas.[1] Detail from silver bowl, made in Cilician Armenia. In the image, Digenes is playing a rota, triangular psaltery, sometimes mistaken for the harp today. This has also been interpreted as David with his wife[2]

A nearly identical work of art resides in the Museum of Historical Treasures of Ukraine .[3]

The two works can be identified by their places of discovery, the Vilgort Byzantine cup and the Chernihiv Byzantine cup.
