Abstracts

The paper attempts to summarize and re-assess the current status of research on the so-called Crown of Monomachos, an enamel object found in the territory of Slovakia in the second half of the 19th century. The author presents the most recent polemics as to the authenticity, provenience and the original intention and use of the object, being considered by various authors as a diadem, princely or royal crown, or a triumphal arm-ring. The paper argues in favour of the attribution as a female diadem, plausibly belonging to Anastasia of Kievan Rus – given the universal motifs applied mostly in the eastern part of the Byzantine sphere of influence.
