Visogoth Votive Crown with Cross from Spain dated to the 7th Century on display at the Musée National du Moyen Âge in Paris, France

This was one of the many pieces of votive offerings excavated from the archaeological site in Guadamur in Spain. Part of the “Treasure of Guarrazar”, named after the orchid it was found in, it represents the Byzantine influences on Visogothic artwork but using Germanic manufacturing techniques.

The treasure was considered to have been hidden in the 8th Century due to the Umayyad conquest of Hispania and the destruction of the Visogothic Kingdom.

About this artwork

This richly coloured and detailed embroidery is the final, climactic work in a series of four called The Progress of a Soul and was made between 1899 and 1902. The human soul is represented by an ideal young man dressed in an animal skin, who was based on the character of Denys L'Auxerrois from Imaginary Portraits by the English critic and writer Walter Pater. In this panel, The Victory, Denys is seen after death, reborn into eternal life. He has been awoken with a kiss from a red haired, red winged seraph, suggesting he has entered the realm of heaven.
