Relicist, anonymous, c. 1100 - c. 1300 Canvas Print
The originally fully gilded object is composed of three parts: the bottom, the wall and the lid. This is attached to the wall with a hinge and can be closed with a pin. It has the shape of an angled roof, the faintly ascending roof shields of which connect at the top to a flat part in the form of a cross. The roof shields have an ornament in the form of flat roof tiles, the rows of which are granulated around and around. The upright sides of the lid have a symmetrical tendril ornament, the leaves of which are stylized into palmets. In the walls of the chest, eight smooth medallions are cut out at the front and back with a smooth and granulated edge and four on the sides. These are surrounded on three walls by a cord edge and on one side wall by a cord edge and continuous tendril ornament. At the front is christ in the middle on the cross with above it the sun and the moon, and on the left Mary with the hand of God, on the right a female saint and a head. On the back is the blessing Christ (Majestas Domini) seated on a throne in a mandorla and Mary and John. On the sides, the smooth edges around the medallions are connected to each other. The legs have four passes at the front and on the right side, a pi and a cross at the back and crosses on the left side. In the bottom, an edge in trembling stitch is placed on the inside and outside around it. In the flat part of the lid sixteen holes indicate that something was originally mounted on it. The pin is missing.
