Lot 100

Description

A reproduction Jewish sandwich gold-glass medallion, 20th century, decorated in two registers in gold leaf within a frame further enhanced with a row of painted red dots, the upper register engraved with a pair of lions either side of an opened Tprah Shrine, revealing the scrolls within, and below with a pair of menorahs surrounded by sacred objects including an etrog, amphora, a pair of shofars, and a vase supporting a tall palm frond, 9.7cm diam

 

 

Note: Most gold-glass medallions were made in Rome workshops during the 4th century and come from the catacombs surrounding the city. They originally decorated the bases of commemorative bowls or beakers that were broken off and inserted into the walls of individual tombs to serve as grave markers. This medallion is a copy of a rare Jewish example that is now preserved in the Vatican (C.R. Morey, The Gold-Glass Collection of the Vatican Library, Vatican 1959, p. 27, pl. XIX).
