Bell rubbing with Christ on the Cross, between the sun and the moon, from Schmeckwitz, Germany
Not on view
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. The bell from which this rubbing was taken has been in the Kunstgewerbmuseum in Dresden since 1911.
