The Louvre's own current official online collection record for the panel, checked directly. Its strength is being the primary institutional record for the physical object, current custodian and dating. Its 700 to 799 CE dating is two centuries later than the sixth century figure much popular literature still repeats, and this entry follows the museum's own current cataloguing as the more authoritative and current figure.
