Casket - Casket | De Backker | Art Belgium
Carved ivory casket with decoration in the form of stylized vegetation, Spain (probably Córdoba), about 962.
Lidded rectangular box made of whale-bone, carved on the sides and top in relief with scenes from Roman, Jewish, Christian and Germanic tradition. The base is constructed from four sides slotted and pegged into corner uprights, the bottom plates fitted into grooves at the base of the sides. It possibly stood on four low feet. Only one decorative panel now survives in the lid, the remaining elements being almost certainly replacements. There are scars left by lost metal fittings on the exterior - handle, lock, hasps and hinges - and crude internal repairs. The five surviving decorated panels are variously accompanied by carved texts in Old English and Latin, using both conventional and encoded runes as well as Insular script, in a variety of orientations. Each side is bordered by a long descriptive text and three contain additional labels; the lid panel has only the latter, though a longer text may originally have accompanied it. The front panel is divided in two. The left half shows a composite scene from the legend of Weland the Smith, in which Weland stands in his forge, holding a skull in a pair of tongs. The right half depicts the Adoration of the Magi, with the label 'mægi' carved above the kings. The main inscription around the panel's edges comprises a riddling alliterative verse in runic writing, about the whale whose bone was used to make the casket. The left-hand end depicts Romulus and Remus nurtured by the wolf with an inscription in runic writing describing the scene. The back panel shows the capture of Jerusalem in AD 70 by the future Roman general, Titus. He is shown helmeted in the upper left, leading the destruction of the arched Jewish temple (centre), inside which is the Ark of the Covenant, surrounded by sacred creatures. In the upper right, Jewish inhabitants flee the city. The lower part of the panel shows scenes of judgement (left), indicated by the label 'dom' = 'judgment', and hostage-taking (right), indicated by the label 'gisl' = 'hostage'. The right-hand end poses special problems of interpretation. The apparently episodic scene is evidently from Germanic legend but has not been satisfactorily identified. Three labels read: 'risci' = 'rush', 'wudu' = 'wood' and 'bita' = 'biter'. The main runic text is in alliterative verse partly encoded by substituting cryptic forms for most of its vowels and perhaps certain other letters. The lid appears to depict an episode relating to the Germanic hero Egil and has the single label 'aegili' = 'Egil'.
