TREASURES OF BYZANTIUM Although this sculpture received a state-of-the-art design, the treasures of ancient Byzantium became the source of inspiration for it. The craftsman traveled a lot to archaeological sites, visited caves with treasures and ancient temples. He embodied everything he saw in the neat lines of his work. Depending on the viewing angle, the sculpture resembles an architectural structure and, at the same time, an ancient jewel that could contain a precious stone.
