Title |
Crozier with Saint Michael and the Dragon |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Within the curved volute, St. Michael battles a dragon, a symbol of the Devil described in Book of Revelation 12:6-9. This scene is the one most commonly found on Limoges croziers, as it symbolizes the victory of Good over Evil. It is an especially appropriate metaphor for the staffs carried by abbots and bishops who were entrusted with the protection of the flock and the preservation of the Christian faith. The dragon motif continues on the volute, the knob, and socket of the crozier. The lozenge enamel pattern and the curling crockets on the outer edge of the volute recall the scales of a dragon or serpent, while more dragons scamper on the knob. |
