Our carved wooden lectern is large.
It features a beautiful double-headed eagle with outstretched wings and claws resting on an orb. This is the traditional emblem of spiritual and temporal power, often associated with the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire.
The latter is supported by a baluster column resting on a wide tripod base.
The eagle symbolically represents John, the apostle whose writings most clearly testify to the Light and divinity of Christ.
A late 17th century work.
