Transenna Post, Lombardic, 700s-800s (marble)
491058 Transenna Post, Lombardic, 700s-800s (marble) by Italian School, (9th century); h:110.10 w:28.60 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: In Christian architecture a transenna is an openwork screen of stone or metal enclosing a shrine. These transenna elements were found in Rome; the posts were said to have been excavated on the Coelian Hill and may have originally formed part of the transenna of the Church of San Saba. The Lombards were an ancient Germanic-speaking tribe that settled in Italy after 568. Their artistic tradition was originally centered on small objects of personal adornment like buckles and brooches. After occupying Italy, the Lombards found themselves in contact with large-scale sculpture of classical and early Christian origin that, by the end of the 700s, they had learned to adopt and imitate, as seen here.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Lombardic art from the 8th to 9th century. The Transenna Post, beautifully carved in marble, stands as a testament to the artistic prowess and cultural exchange between the Lombards and their adopted land of Italy. Originally renowned for their intricate personal adornments such as buckles and brooches, the Lombards found themselves immersed in a world of grandeur upon settling in Italy. This exquisite transenna element was discovered in Rome, believed to have once been part of the Church of San Saba's enclosure screen. The openwork design delicately weaves together patterns reminiscent of both classical and early Christian influences. It is evident that by this time, the Lombards had mastered the techniques necessary to adopt and imitate large-scale sculptures prevalent during that era. Standing at an impressive height of 110.10 cm with a width of 28.60 cm, this marble post exudes elegance and sophistication. Its presence evokes curiosity about its original purpose within the church's transenna structure. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary fusion of cultures through sculpture. The migration period comes alive through every intricately carved detail on this pillar-like masterpiece – a true treasure preserved within Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA.
