大卫与歌利亚之战圆盘

拜占庭

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 301

在圆盘上部的场景中，大卫挑战歌利亚。他们进入战斗后，大卫看似处于防守状态，但他的人正在前进，歌利亚的士兵则在后退，预示了大卫最终的胜利。下面，得胜的大卫割下巨人歌利亚的头（撒母耳记上17:41 – 51）。这是所谓的“塞浦路斯宝藏”中的九件圆盘之一，以古典风格刻画出大卫的人生故事。这些圆盘是希拉克略在位期间（610 – 41年）在君士坦丁堡制作的，其中六件在大都会博物馆，三件在塞浦路斯博物馆。它们的主题可能是把这位皇帝等同于新的大卫王，因为他刚在 628至 629年击败波斯人，重新夺回耶路撒冷。
