Lot 1258 | "Eiserne Jungfrau", Sammleranfertigung im Stil der Frühen Neuzeit
Estimate value
€ 2 900
In einem Stück geschlagener, sarkophagartig ausgehöhlter Baumstamm (Stärke 7 bis 9 cm) mit abgesetzter Schulter und zwei Flügeltüren, außen seitlich zahlreiche Verstärkungen aus Eisenblechen unterschiedlicher Dimension und Form. Am Kopf vernageltes Bandeisen mit scharniergelagerter Eisenmaske aus vernieteten Spangen. Die beiden Türen besetzt mit acht bzw. neun nach innen ragenden, langen Vierkantspitzen. Metallteile in unterschiedlichen Stärken korrodiert. Baumstamm im hinteren und oberen Bereich Nässespuren. Höhe 206 cm. Breite 58 cm. Die berühmte Nürnberger Eiserne Jungfrau wurde zum ersten Mal 1533 urkundlich erwähnt. Als besonders schauerliches und grausames Folter- bzw. Hinrichtungswerkzeug wurde die Eiserne Jungfrau geradezu zum Inbegriff der mittelalterlichen Justiz. Allerdings diente dieses Instrument eher der Territion, um Delinquenten durch Einschüchterung zu Aussagen zu zwingen. Autoren wie Edgar Allan Poe und Bram Stoker ließen sich von der Nürnberger Eisernen Jungfrau inspirieren. Angeblich fanden US-amerikanische Truppen bei ihrem Einmarsch in den Irak 2003 sogar eine Art Eiserne Jungfrau, die der Sohn Saddam Husseins, Udai, benutzt hatte, um unliebsame Individuen zu Tode zu foltern. Zustand: III
