Summary[edit]

Description
English: Reliquary of Saint Apollinaris
  • Trento, Province of Trento, Region Trentino, Italy

In the early Christian church of Sant'Apollinare dedicated to Bishop Apollinaris who died as a martyr, a capsule-shaped reliquary of silver was found in 1920 under the altar of the church, located in a larger, crushed metal container. The cover of the rectangular silver box shows the half-length portrait of a beardless man viewed from the front. His hair is parted in the middle and pulled behind the ears in thick strands. He is wearing a high-necked, sleeved tunic with beaded decorative edging. He is holding a cross in both hands in front of his chest. The narrow sides of the reliquary are decorated with braided animal motifs in loop ornaments. This particular style is part of Germanic Animal Style II, dates to the early 7th century, and is widespread in Lombard Italy as an ornamental motif. To date, this type of portrayal is unique among the numerous capsule reliquaries of Trentino.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Castello del Buonconsiglio, Trient.
Deutsch: Reliquiar des Heiligen Apollinaris
  • Trento, Provinz Trento, Region Trentino, Italien

In der frühchristlichen Kirche von St. Apollinare, die dem als Märtyrer verstorbenen Bischof Apollinaris geweiht ist, wurde 1920 unter dem Altar der Kirche ein kapselförmiges Reliquiar aus Silber gefunden, das sich in einem größeren, zerdrückten Metallbehälter befand. Der Deckel des rechteckigen Silberkästchens zeigt das Brustbildnis eines bartlosen Mannes in Frontalansicht. Sein Haar ist in der Mitte gescheitelt und in dicken Strähnen hinter die Ohren genommen. Er trägt eine hochgeschlossene Ärmeltunika mit perlartig besetzten Zierborten. Mit beiden Händen hält er einen Kreuzstab vor seiner Brust. Die Schmalseiten des Reliquiars sind mit verflochtenen Tiermotiven in Schlaufenornamentik verziert. Dieser spezielle Stil ist Teil des germanischen Tierstils II, datiert an den Anfang des 7. Jahrhunderts und ist als Ziermotiv im langobardischen Italien weit verbreitet. Die Art der Darstellung ist unter den zahlreichen Kapselreliquiaren des Trentino bisher einzigartig.
