About the sculpture
This is a reduced copy of an original relief - probably of the late 11th century - formerly in the collection of Count Wallerstein at Maihingen.
Several other copies exist. All of the copies reproduce the same error in the bottom left corner, where the Lion of St. Mark has been given the head of the Eagle of St John, which already appears at the top right. This is probably the result of using a plaster cast of the original as a model, where the head of the Lion has been obscured and appears to resemble an eagle
