RARE MEDIEVAL CENSER
Norman Sicily, 11th – 12th century AD
height cm 9 (3,5’’); diam. cm 10 (3,9’’)

Bronze cup shaped censer with extremely refined decoration, realized in repoussé technique. The decorative motives come from the Medieval Bestiaries repertoire and consist of: five wild beasts (a lion, a wolf, an antelope, a griffon and a deer), running in an open space, as an exotic garden; stylized palmette, volutes and flowers are geometrically arranged around the animals.
The iconography derives from the beloved Bestiary tradition of Christianity. Each animal has a specific religious meaning: the deer is the Christian emblem of souls approached to the baptism, desirous of God; the griffon is the divine eternity, glorification and hypostasis; the lion is the strength. The style is connected with Oriental and Islamic heritage, visible on the graceful outlines of vegetal elements.
