Description
English: Architectural fragment from San Salvatore in Brescia
  • Brescia, Province of Brescia, Region Lombardy, Italy

This architectural fragment probably belonged to a wall decorated with icons (iconosthasis) in the monastery church of San Salvatore, which was built in the period from 753-760 by the last Lombard king, Desiderius, who came from Brescia. One of his daughters was a wife of Charlemagne.

The fragment has a high quality, ornamental decorative band of overlapping sickles arranged alongside one another. The sickles arch upward, their ends are rolled inward, and their surface is decorated by a beaded strip. In addition, a leaf-shaped ornament is included between the inward-pointing volutes.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Museo di Santa Giulia, Brescia.

Das Architekturfragment gehörte wahrscheinlich zu einer mit Ikonen geschmückten Wand (Ikonosthase) der Klosterkirche von San Salvatore, die in der Zeit von 753-760 vom letzten langobardischen König Desiderius errichtet wurde. Desiderius stammte aus Brescia. Eine seiner Töchter wurde die Ehefrau Karls des Großen.

Das Fragment trägt ein hochqualitatives ornamentales Schmuckband aus sich überschneidenden, nebeneinander angeordneten Sicheln. Die Sicheln sind nach oben geöffnet, ihre Enden nach innen eingerollt und ihre Oberfläche mit einem Perlband verziert. Zwischen den nach innen weisenden Voluten ist zudem noch ein blattförmiges Ornament eingefügt.
