Dec 10, 2014 - Moulded earthenware pilgrim flask with St Menas, Egypt (Alexandria), 580-650.. Museum Number C.79-1953.

Description. This rare and beautifully preserved flask is one of the first to depict St. Sergios on horseback, surrounded by the inscription: "Blessing of the Lord of Saint Sergios." The cult of this 3rd-century saint reached its height of popularity in the 6th century, at the site of his martyrdom in Sergiopolis (in northern Syria). Exhibitions.

According to legend, Sergios and his friend Bakchos were high-ranking soldiers in the Roman army and secret Christian converts. When their faith was discovered, they were both severely tortured and killed: Bakchos during the torture itself, Sergios by subsequent beheading. It can now be argued that the items come from a larger collection of silver from the church of Saint Sergios in modern-day Kurin, Syria or that the pieces belonged to a small local church. The final items of the collection were likely interred at the site in the seventh century as the Byzantine Empire subsequently lost this area of Syria to the Persian army.
