The “Emperor Triumphant” (Barberini Ivory) at the Louvre perhaps depicts Justinian or Anastasius
The upper register depicts Christ making a gesture of blessing. He is surrounded by symbols of the sun, the moon, and a star in a medallion flanked by flying angels.
The emperor is depicted wearing a crown, short tunic, cloak, and boots. A winged Victory stands on a globe with a cross and perhaps once held a crown, while a barbarian wearing a Phrygian cap is held back by the emperor’s lance.
