The shrine is in the form of a central cone-shaped mound flattened on the front and back. At the bottom it has a leaf-shaped opening on the front and a much larger one on the back, leading into a space inside for relics, or an incense burner. It stands on a rectangular base whose sides resemble balustrades, and stands on a larger rectangular base, whose sides are formed by half figures of men wearing tricorne hats and women holding fans, with pierced spaces between them. On the lower right front corner there is a low candlestick, originally matched by another on the left, now missing, two small vases are set on the corners of the upper base. On the back lower left corner there is a small vase, originally matched by one on the right, now missing, and above on the smaller base, a small vase on either side. The central mound has lost a feature from its apex, probably a Crucifix, as it is flanked by standing figures of the Virgin and St John the Evangelist and between them, lower down, a priest kneeling in adoration. The sides of the shrine are decorated with an arch of skulls and putti, and horizontal bands of putti playing musical instruments, and smaller putti, with a large central cone. On the upper part of the back there is a pyramidal arrangement of skulls with two angel musicians below, and below them, a cone, from which incised stylized foliage and flowers branch on either side to cover the surface. On the right and left of the angel musicians there are areas of restoration. On either side of the mound, standing on the smaller of the two bases, there are large rampant lions with gaping mouths and shaggy manes, made of shredded clay.

However, it could equally have bee used for an incense or perfume burner, whose smoke would have issued from the open mouths of the lions. . reference term-109775 adlib-term-109775 360235be-f250-39b6-8374-dccd0bdf5260 18th Century, first half reference term-15267 adlib-term-15267 0efbda09-364a-372f-b331-c6ca003d61d0 literal Germany Germany country Westerwald reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Height cm 54.6 Width 44 reference media-39046 adlib-media-39046 5ef67182-7f9c-3652-a23d-8793316d88bf jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582828037 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/mid_C_2064_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582828037 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582828037 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/preview_C_2064_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582828037 1 image 0 media image reference media-39047 adlib-media-39047 8200404e-410c-3882-8fd7-659754788269 jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582817969 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/mid_C_2064_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582817969 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582817969 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/preview_C_2064_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582817969 1 image 1 media image reference media-39048 adlib-media-39048 02e48d05-17c0-3b6a-8576-edc55fea2441 jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582792003 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/mid_C_2064_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582792003 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582792003 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/preview_C_2064_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582792003 1 image 2 media image reference media-39049 adlib-media-39049 c7ba26b2-26b0-3a6a-990b-c4bafb6de317 jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582745987 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/mid_C_2064_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582745987 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/C_2064_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582745987 1 image jpeg aa/aa5/preview_C_2064_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582745987 1 image 3 media image reference term-60747 adlib-term-60747 c3edfde5-97a9-3fbe-b2c4-9c28ea20dc2a shrine incense burner history note Puttick & Simpson London, 6 June 1919, lot 117; sold for 23 guineas; Mr Newton who sold it for £35 to Mr Stoner, who sold it for £50 on 19 June 1919 to Dr J.W.L.
