Silver Plaque with St. Paul Made 550-600 Accession #50.5.2 The typical image of Saint Paul- with a long face, receding hairline, and pointed beard- was established during the first centuries of the Christian church. Here, Paul holds a book, an appropriate symbol for the author of many of the texts of the New Testament. This plaque and the one showing Saint Peter under a similar arch may have flanked a lost central panel depicting Christ, as parts of an icon, or religious devotional image.
