Plaque: Seated Prophet from a Reliquary Shrine: Esais (Isaiah), c. 1170-1180. Creator: Unknown.

Plaque: Seated Prophet from a Reliquary Shrine: Esais (Isaiah), c. 1170-1180. Once used as decorations for a reliquary shrine, each enamel plaque represents a biblical prophet: Isaiah, Zacharias, Elisha, and Hosea. Fine gold dots punctuate dark blue backgrounds. Typical of Hildesheim enamels, this detailing creates the illusion that the prophets sit against star-studded twilight skies.
