Stock Photo - Altar lectern, The driven lectern has a high back and a low front with a raised edge, on which an oak plate covered with red velvet is supported on the upper side. It rests on four detachable, cast legs in the shape of a hairy bird's claw that comprises a hemisphere, with a printed nodus adorned with hair. The walls are made up of large-scale, open-worked rocaille ornaments and foam heads. At the center of the front wall is a slightly curved shield, surrounded by two standing C-volutes, with the imposed, cast, volumized letters IHS (the abbreviation of the name Jesus in Greek) under a cross, with three nails below (Arma Christi). In the center of the rear wall is a similar, wider shield, in which St. Catherine is halfway driven. Two fruit garlands depend on the rear wall. The corner supports above the legs are shaped in high relief like an angel and an eagle on the front, and a lion and an ox on the back, the symbols of the four Evangelists. Above the lion and the ox there are thick C-volutes, crowned by curling leaves, to which the wooden plate is fixed by means of two screws with round heads. The lectern is reinforced at the bottom with - a later applied - copper frame., Nicolaas van Diemen (attributed to), Amsterdam, 1760, silver (metal), copper (metal), oak (wood), velvet (fabric weave), h 32.5 cm × w 47.0 cm × d 33.5 cm × w 6300 gr
