Lot 1133 | SALZFASS MIT NEPTUN UND TELLUS (NACH BENVENUTO CELLINI)
SALZFASS MIT NEPTUN UND TELLUS (NACH BENVENUTO CELLINI) Hanau, Ludwig Neresheimer, um 1890 Silber, teils vergoldet. L. 17 cm, H. 15,5 cm, 2101 g. Punziert mit Halbmond, Krone, Herstellersignet und Feingehalt '835'. Nachbildung der einzig erhalten gebliebenen Goldschmiedearbeit Benvenuto Cellinis. Sie zeigt eine allegorische Darstellung des Planeten Erde: Neptun, der Gott des Meeres, zu seinen Füßen ein Schiff als Salzbehälter, von vier pferdeartigen Wesen mit Rossleib und Fischschwänzen getragen, und Tellus, die römische Göttin der Erde. An ihrer Seite befindet sich ein Tempelgebäude, das im Original als Behälter für Pfeffer diente. Die Figur des Neptun symbolisiert hier das Meer, welches das Salz hervorbringt, wohingegen Tellus die Erde symbolisiert, welche den Pfeffer gedeihen lässt. Der Sockel der Skulptur ist in acht Nischen eingeteilt, in denen Allegorien der Jahreszeiten einerseits und der Morgenröte, Tag, Dämmerung und Nacht andererseits dargestellt sind. Dreizack des Neptuns fehlt; Vergoldung teils berieben.
