Cybele

ca. 1601/07 | Nikolaus Pfaff

Around 1600 ivory began to regain its importance as artistic material in Europe. Turnery became the new fashion. Rudolf II received princely gifts of turned objects from Munich and Dresden and also employed his own court turner, Hans Wecker. Ivory sculptures remained rare, but the sculptor Nikolaus Pfaff created statuettes of great virtuosity and charm for the emperor.
