Lot no. 2123
Limoges 2. Hälfte 13. Jahrhundert
Hostiendose
Kupfer, gewalzt, gegossen, graviert, vergoldet, Email. Die kostbare runde Pyxis besitzt einen an einem Scharnier befestigten kegelförmigen Deckel, der von einem Kreuz bekrönt wird. Die dunkelblauen Flächen werden von hellblauen Bändern unterteilt und sind mit stilisierten Ranken, figürlichen Darstellungen und Wappen gefüllt. So sind auf der Wandung der Dose der Hl. Georg als Drachentöter sowie Samson mit dem Löwen wiedergegeben, der Deckel zeigt zwei Drachen sowie einen Adler mit einer Chimäre. Die auf Dose und Deckel doppelt wiedergegebenen Stifterwappen dürften sich in ihrer Kombination auf den französischen König Philipp IV. (goldene Lilien auf blauem Grund) und seine Frau Johanna I. von Navarra (drei goldene Türme auf rotem Grund) beziehen; ihre Heirat fand im Jahr 1284 statt.
Bestoßungen mit nur geringen Verlusten. Höhe 13 cm, Durchmesser 7,8 cm.
Provenienz
Versteigerung bei A. Weinmüller, München 4.-6.10.1961. - Polnische Privatsammlung.
A Limoges enamel pyx, second half 13th century
Cast copper with gilt, engraved, and enamelled decor. This precious round host box has a hinged pointed lid surmounted by a cross. The dark brown areas are divided by pale blue borders and filled with stylised vines, figures, and armorials. The outer faces of the box depict Saint George killing the dragon and Samson with the lion, the lid shows two dragons and an eagle with a chimaera. The combination of the coats of arms depicted on the box and lid presumably refer to the French King Philipp IV (gold lilies on blue ground) and his wife Joan I of Navarre (three gold towers on red ground), who were married in 1284.
Wear with minor losses. Height 13 cm, diameter 7.8 cm.
