Italienisches kupfernes Prozessionskreuz Sulmona, frühes 15. Jahrhundert Maximale Höhe mit Ständer: 69 cm; Breite 33,5 cm. Gewicht 1520 g Aus geprägtem, ziseliertem und vergoldetem Kupferblech auf einem Holzkern gefertigt, hat es die Struktur eines lateinischen Kreuzes, dessen Arme mit mehrlappigen Endstücken versehen sind; die Rippe ist ebenfalls mit Blechen mit geformten Ornamenten bedeckt, die Wirbel mit Eicheln darstellen. Auf der Vorderseite die Ikonographie der Kreuzigung mit der Figur des gekreuzigten Christus am Schnittpunkt der Arme, die Jungfrau und der heilige Johannes am Ende der Seitenarme des Kreuzes; oben und unten zwei Engel. Auf der Vorderseite ist Gott der Vater in der Mitte mit einem Segensspruch in voller Länge und auf den vier Terminals die Tiersymbole der Evangelisten dargestellt: oben der Adler, der Johannes darstellt, unten der Engel, Symbol des Matthäus, links der Löwe des Markus und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Stier, Symbol des Evangelisten Lukas. Bemerkenswert ist auf der Rückseite die Christusfigur in der Mitte, die sich auf ein archaisches Modell bezieht. Das Werk gehört zu dem großen Repertoire an Astylarkreuzen aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, die in der Gegend von Sulmona hergestellt wurden und sich durch diese Art von Struktur und Dekoration auszeichnen. In dem hier vorgeschlagenen Fall ist das Vorhandensein von gegossenen Randverzierungen mit Engelsdarstellungen anstelle der üblichen Kugeln zu bemerken; bei diesen Applikationen handelt es sich höchstwahrscheinlich um Ersetzungen oder Ergänzungen aus einer späteren Zeit. Zu Vergleichszwecken sind das Prozessionskreuz, das im Stadtmuseum von Sulmona im Palazzo dell'Annunziata aufbewahrt wird, und ein anderes Kreuz aus der Gegend von Sulmona in Castelvecchio Calvisio (AQ) zu erwähnen. Kodierung der Stücke: **** gut, Mängel und Fehlstellen, wahrscheinlich Ersatz der Nägel zur Befestigung der Blätter.

In the event of:

One single pre-auction bid on a lot

In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded at the starting price even if the sole bid received is higher (the amount of the pre-auction bid indicates the maximum bid the bidder is willing to place).

Example: Starting price € 1,000 – Single pre-auction bid € 1,500 – Lot awarded at € 1,000

Multiple pre-auction bids of the same amount on the same lot

In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the earlier bidder.

Multiple pre-auction bids of different amounts on the same lot

In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the highest bidder. The hammer price is calculated by adding to the amount of the next lowest bid a predetermined increment, as set out in the table below (Table A).

Example: customer A bid € 1200 - customer B bid € 1800. Customer B does not win at the award price of € 1800 but at € 1300. That is, the automatic increase of € 100 laid down in Table A for bids in the 1000-1999 € range is applied to the amount of the next lowest bid.
