Original stone finish (35)

This is a wonderful piece of work depicting a salamander climbing up the stems of foliage which bear grapes or currants. The salamander was often depicted as a genderless creature and placed conspicuously in a position where the priests would pass each day where it served to remind them of their vows of celibacy. The carving is pierced right through and the salamander stands clear of the foliage; a "piece de resistance" for the original carver and one of the most challenging pieces for us to replicate in miniature.

See our Medieval Zoo pages for more information on the salmander.
