Fejø (8ème- 9ème siècle)
The cup from Fejø
The treasure hoard from Fejø contains a Frankish silver cup and five small cups of Scandinavian origin. The Frankish vessel was made in southern Germany or Austria at the end of the 8th century. It was originally used in church ceremonies. The decoration consists of two friezes, each containing six arches resting on pillars. The upper frieze displays three Christian symbols: the eagle, the lion and the dove. Seen as a whole, the decoration depicts a round building with two floors. The building represents the New Jerusalem as described in the Book of Revelation.
