Shadow Shot Sunday

These plates at the Met date back to the
late Byzantine Era.  Think about it—they've
survived intact for almost 1,000 years!

  4. I am always in awe of ancient things and places and try to imagine who used them, what their lives were like... People pretty much like us, I guess.

  7. Striking display and photo! And it IS amazing these plates are still intact after all these centuries. I wonder what stories they would tell if they could speak....
