Der Reliquienschatz des Hauses Braunschweig-Lüneburg

Neumann, Wilhelm Anton, Bader, Friedrich Wilhelm [Ill.], Deckers, Peter [Ill.] · 1891 · 130 pictures

Der Reliquienschatz des Hauses Braunschweig-Lüneburg is an 1891 German book by Wilhelm Anton Neumann, with illustrations by Friedrich Wilhelm Bader and Peter Deckers, cataloguing the reliquary treasure of the Brunswick-Lüneburg ducal house for scholars and collectors. Its engravings show medieval reliquaries in metal and enamel: a standing arched casket with figures in roundels, a footed altar-like reliquary with hinged wings, a jewelled cross on a carved base, and a gem-studded box with saints in relief, offering designers ornamental framing, figure poses and jewelled-metal textures.
