SILVER BEER TANKARD WITH ATLAS AND CARVED IVORY RELIGIOUS SCENES LÜBECK, FREE IMPERIAL CITY, 17TH CENTURY

SILVER BEER TANKARD WITH ATLAS AND CARVED IVORY RELIGIOUS SCENES LÜBECK, FREE IMPERIAL CITY, 17TH CENTURY

A monumental ceremonial Hanseatic beer tankard executed in chased and parcel-gilt silver, with a cylindrical body encased in a single carved ivory sleeve. The vessel belongs to the prestigious category of guild presentation cups combining ceremonial function with theological symbolism.The iconographic program unfolds in high relief and includes The Fall of Man, The Sacrifice of Cain and Abel, and The Transfiguration. The sequence forms a theological narrative of redemption – from original sin to divine transformation. The carving is executed from a single solid section of ivory with refined modeling and deeply articulated background.The hinged cover is engraved with Romano-Gothic ornament incorporating hops, mascarons and cornucopia motifs. The finial takes the form of a kneeling Atlas supporting a globe engraved with geographical names; among them appears Riga, symbolically referring to Lübeck’s Hanseatic connection with the Baltic trading world.The borders and foot are decorated with a diamond-pattern frieze featuring marine chimeras. The cast Rocaille handle is adorned with a winged maiden and a thumb rest formed as a shell. The interior is gilt.Hallmarks: On the base: rectangular assay mark “13” (13-loth standard, approximately 812 silver); circular city mark of Lübeck with the imperial double-headed eagle; maker’s mark depicting a tree within a hexagonal shield. The combination corresponds to Lübeck’s 17th-century hallmarking system.Dimensions: Height 23 cm.Weight: 685 g.Condition: Good museum condition. Age-related stable cracks to the ivory without loss of carving. Silver with noble patina and partial wear to gilding on raised areas. Hinge and cover functioning correctly.Provenance: Private European collection. CITES certificate for ivory No. BA-S-0332023.
