Lot 221. Large magnificent ivory tankard, Germany, about 1760. Estimate: € 36000-42000. Photo Hampel

Figure on lid ca. 1900. Vessel, handle and figure on cover in ivory with parcel-true silver mounts. The vessel is carved in the round in bas and high relief showing a battle of Roman legion aries against the barbarians. Seated above the battle scene on a chariot is a Roman Emperor in scale armor with a radiant crown and scepter. A fierce battle is Depicted around him. The domed cover is crowned with a kneeling Roman dressed in scale armor with helmet, shield and sword. The tankard is a work of the 18th century in the tradition of Early Baroque and Renaissance tankards. The figure surmounting the lid is a later addition of the 19th century. Foot diameter. 22 cm
