Not on view
This rubbing shows a relief on one of two medieval bells in the Kirche Panitzsch. Together with a third bell from the Baroque period they underwent restoration in 2006. From a set of rubbings made from reliefs on bells ranging from the 13th to 16th century from Germany, Sweden and Denmark. The provenance of the rubbings is unknown, although several reproduce bells that were damaged or destroyed during the Second World War. This set seems to be unique in documenting medieval bell decorations.
