11. Medieval works from Hungary and the German and Austrian territories

Reliquary, carved-in-the-round with lid, consisting of four separate parts (lid, head and bust, grill, plinth). His chased chainmail and brigadine, the latter decorated with a filigree vine motif, are in good condition. The reliquary is almost certainly from the same workshop as item A99, another sculpted work portraying a knight, in the Schnütgen Museum.

Provenance:
Purchased by Prince Primate János Simor in 1884 from Cologne’s Schnütgen collection.
