Beigegeben ein Gutachten von Rainer Bücking, Sachverständiger des Deutschen Elfenbeinverbandes, 4.8.2021, Erlangen.
Elfenbein, geschnitzt und partiell patiniert. Dem natürlichen Wuchs des Stoßzahnes des Elefanten folgend in Hoch- und Flachrelief die Darstellung des Kniefalls Barbarossas. Der Kaiser hatte sich 1176 in Chiavenna eingefunden, um die militärische Unterstützung des Herzogs Heinrichs des Löwen zu erflehen. Die Bitte soll er durch einen Kniefall unterstrichen haben. Heinrich der Löwe versagte ihm jedoch die Unterstützung, sodass Barbarossa bei Legano eine empfindliche Niederlage gegen die oberitalienischen Städte erlitt. (12801519) (13)
