Aquamanile mit Aristoteles und Phyllis

Südliche Lowlands

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 958

Ein Aquamanile ist ein Gefäß zum Vergießen von Wasser, das beim rituellen Händewaschen in sekularem als auch religiösem Kontext verwendet wird – von einem Priester vor der Messe und im Haushalt vor dem Essen. Dieses Exemplar war wahrscheinlich zur Unterhaltung von Gästen am Tisch in einem Haushalt gedacht und zeigt die populäre moralisierende Legende, in der Aristoteles, der griechische Philosoph und Lehrmeister Alexanders des Großen, sich, als Lehrstück für den Herrscher, von der verführerischen Phyllis erniedrigen lässt.
