Lot 6 | Barocker Schwurschädel
wohl 18. Jh., menschliche Schädelkalotte, das Dach graviert mit Pentagramm und Angabe der vier Elemente Wasser, Luft, Feuer und Erde sowie der Quintessenz Äther, auf dunkel gefasstem, gedreht geripptem Holzfuß montiert, kunst- und kulturhistorisch relevantes Wunderkammer Artefakt des Barock, Altersspuren, Erhaltungsmängel, H 32 cm. Info: Bereits im Mittelalter wurden Schwurschädel als Objekte der Gerichtsbarkeit genutzt, Femegerichte erreichten den Höhepunkt ihrer Macht im 15. Jahrhundert und nahmen immer mehr den Charakter von straff organisierten Geheimbünden der "Wissenden" an, die durch Eid zu unbedingter Verschwiegenheit verpflichtet waren, aufgrund der zunehmenden Heimlichkeit des Verfahrens und der umgehenden Vollstreckung gefällter Todesurteile verbreitete sich Furcht und Schrecken vor der Feme, das letzte "Heimliche Gericht" wurde 1806 abgehalten, Schwurschädel fanden so auch in den Wunderkammern ihren Platz, Quelle: Georg Laue, Memento Mori, S. 168, und Internet.
