A rare scene. In the center rises a purple column, on top of which is seated a young male winged figure. It is Eros, which is blindfolded and blows two trumpets, one pointing to the right and one to the left. Lower at the base of the column, two dragons are depicted. In their open mouths two winged, naked young figures, one female and one male seem to be trapped. Sifnos Island. by Defterevon Sifnios Athens Greece Byzantine Museum Orthodox Church Greek ( Icon )
