Estimate value
€ 1 500 – 3 000
Beer cup, the holy Grail, in hammered silver with gilding, with Atlas on the hinged lid and carved religious scenes on a single piece of ivory on the body of the vessel. Includes scenes: the Fall, the sacrifices of Cain and Abel, the Transfiguration. Symbolizes deliverance from original sin and the salvation of the universe in divine light. The lid is decorated with Romanesque-Gothic ornaments with winged devils, hops and cornucopias. The margins and base of the mug bear a diamond-shaped design with half-figures of sea chimeras. The cast rocaille handle is equipped with a winged maiden and a shell-shaped finger rest. It is interesting that among the geographical names on the globe Riga is indicated, probably as a Hanseatic city in solidarity with Lübeck. On the basis of the product there are marks: probably from the 17th century, Lübeck - a double-headed eagle in a circle, a rectangular 13 lot mark and wood in a hexagonal shield - possibly the mark of the master. Height 23 cm. Total weight: 685 g. CITES Bone Certificate No. BA-S-0332023. Width: 18cm, Height: 23cm, Depth: 12.5cm, Weight: 1.5kg, Condition: Good, Material: Ivory, ID: ID-ANTQ-8563
