Weinkrug mit Finial eines Wilden

ca. 1500
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14
Auf der Spitze dieses Weinkrugs befindet sich ein bärtiger Mann, der eine Keule schwingt. Sagengestalten in Kunst und Literatur des späten Mittelalters, wie solche „Wilde", sollten große Potenz besitzen, in Wäldern leben und nur primitiven Instinkten folgen. Dieser Weinkrug ist Teil eines Paares und wurde, gemeinsam mit seinem Gegenstück, schon vor langer Zeit anhand der Inventarien des Deutschen Ritterordens von 1526 und 1585 identifiziert. Sie sind zwar beide nicht gekennzeichnet, aber können anhand stilistischer Vergleiche der reichen Stadt Nürnberg zugeordnet werden.
