Good Shepherd

I have removed this text - "... and may illustrate the parable of the

reliquaries

or similar religious objects). Until there are articles published, pinning this on a comment in a blog seems to overstate the case for this particular key artefact in the Treasure.

Looking at Ruth E. Leader-Newby (2004), Silver and Society in Late Antiquity: Functions and Meanings of Silver Plate in the Fourth to Seventh Centuries, Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.,

ISBN 978-0-7546-0728-1 (I have a copy at home) seems useful as a source for this area, with chapter 3 (Sacred silver) quite helpful for comparison artefacts. I have yet to spot a quote to pull into the article and will remain short on time to look again for a week or two. --Fæ (talk) 16:46, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply
