SPLENDID IVORY TANKARD WITH WILD BOAR HUNT.

Wohl Erbach.
Date: 1870's.
Technique: Ivory.
Description: Large hunting tankard with a surrounding sculptural depiction of a hunting scene with a
herd of wild boars. The scene, rich in figures and movement, is worked with the highest
level of artistry and is open-worked and free-plastic in parts. It shows a probably
mythological representation with men in antique robes fighting a pack of wild boars
between trees. A forest nymph is visible in one of the trees next to the handle. On the
four volute feet alternating hunting dog and wild boar heads. The handle formed by a
bearded man fighting with a bear standing on its hind legs. The lid with deer heads and
the crowning figure of Diana, goddess of the hunt, riding a horse.
Measurement: Height 48cm.


Provenance:
Private collection Baden-Württemberg.

According to handwritten notes and oral tradition of the previous owners, this monumental hunting tankard was a gift from the imperial princes to Emperor Wilhelm I and came from the estate of Wilhelm II's second wife, Princess Schönaich-Carolath. The magnificent Kunstkammer object is said to have been created in 1872, after a working period of 12 months.

- Severe damage and signs of use such as cracks in the material and superficial soiling, rubbing and discolouration. - Antlers of the stags restored. - Goddess Diana: Mantle and both hands restored. Diana with horse and hunting dog underneath pierced on
