STATUETTE OF KING DAVID, C. 1280-1320, WITH ANCIENT CAMEO. BASEL HISTORICAL MUSEUM This beautiful and bizarre gold statuette, only 17.7 cm tall, was made by southern German goldsmiths in around 1280 for the cathedral treasury of Basel in Switzerland, though its origins and commission are lost to us. The gold base and the miniature statue of the Virgin and Child are from a reworking of c. 1320. But the most striking part of the statuette is the head, a gold cowl surrounding a late-antique sardonyx cameo of Medusa which serves as King David's face. True, the face is rather mannish, and Medusa's snaky locks look like curls, but the tiny wings on either side of her central hair-knot identify her. The tiny Virgin and Child are standing on a C13 cameo of a lion. The three-quarters-length figure holds a scroll with a red niello inscription naming him DAVID REX and allude to him as an ancestor of Christ, David the "Lion of Judah".

Surely one of the oddest examples of #spolia reuse brings us to the #Historischesmuseum #Basel this #SpoliaSunday to ponder the reuse of a #cameo of #Medusa as the face of the Old Testament king #David, especially in his role as ancestor of #Christ. (📸 HMB/Peter Portner)
