 Hello, my name is Rikizovan and I'm curator here in Colombo in the city of Staisi of Colombo. And I'm responsible for the medieval art here in the house. But we are working as a team together with all of our restorers. So we are not really fixed on our subject, our main subject. And I'm now introducing you one of the main pieces. This is a cross of Hiriman and Ida. Hiriman was bishop, archbishop of Cologne in the second quarter of the 11th century. And Ida was a sister. She was the abbess of St. Maria Capitola, which is one of the main Romanesque churches here in Cologne. They both belong to the family of Ezul. Ezul was very famous and important crowned here in this area in the 10th century. And he was one of the main families and he was related to the emperor. And so the family, they knew what they were and they had to show it. Hiriman was Ezal's bishop also responsible for all the cloisters which were in the city. And so, especially for the St. Maria Capitola's very sister was an abbess. And they founded this church and the Abbey and built a new building there. And if you have a new building and a new church, you need everything, you need full service. So the altarpiece and the cruisers and the chalices and all the textiles. And very important also was the cross for the intuitors of the clerics for the service. And we think that maybe this cross was donated to the church by Hiriman and Ida for the opening, so to say, of the church in 1049. And this was a very important event because the emperor was there, the pope was there. He was really very high-graded guests and so they had the needy cross which showed that the event is very important. The family who paid for this event and who made this event possible was very important too. And maybe this cross played a role in this story. Then you can see that it's not a normal cross. It's very exceptional because it has a Christ on the cross, has a blue head. And the blue head is of Lapa Slatsuli, which is a very precious stone at that time. And it is said that possibly this stone, which is an old one, it's from the first century, it's an antique head. That maybe this head was in the treasury of the family, of the Herzl family. That was normal that at this time the important families had a treasury. And this treasury were very important things where they could show that they were wealthy and that they knew what they had. So I think they knew that this head was very old. And that it was of Lapa Slatsuli and it showed the woman, which is also very important. It's a woman from, it lived in the first century and was possibly, it can be identified as Anivia, which is the wife of the Emperor Augustus. We can see here as a loan from the Römischke Mannes Museum here in Cologne, making this exhibition of women together. This is a loan and we thought we'd put them together to bring the family together again. And so it made me this head of Livia and it is put into this cross as the head of Christ, which is very, very seldom. You can find antique stones in this processional process in this time in Aachen at the Lothar Cross, the Henry's Cross in Berlin, which is in fact from Bazaar. But they are never the head of Christ. They are the middle of the process. And so they tell a different story than this cross tells. And I think what moved them to take this stone as the head of Christ, maybe we would like to have that they took it because it was the head of a woman and it was for a woman's cross stone. But I think that maybe it was not so important because the gender questions at that time did play a role at all. And it didn't play a role that it was the head of a woman because God was no woman, it was no man, it doesn't take. It wasn't very important. But maybe it was important that it was old and that it was blue because blue is the color of the sky and therefore it's the color of God. So maybe they chose this head because it meant something. The color meant something and shows that this there is no normal human being but that it is the Son of God who is dying at the cross as a human being. And the other thing was that they showed by presenting this head in such a really important part of the cross at the front that they had things like this in their treasury and so that they are an important family that went back to the Roman emperor, to the Atonian Roman emperor. And so they perhaps told the story, we got this thing by the emperor because we were related to him and that was very important because when Otto died, Otto III died, it was not really clear who became the follower. And then Henry made the race but he didn't fight him for that but Otto also had some ambitions at that time but he didn't follow them. So I know, I told that maybe the cross was for the year 1049 but if you look at the back, you can see the Donald sitting at the foot of the cross under the feet of Mary who was the patroness of St. Mary in capital and he is kneeling there and you can see that he has his crozier in his hand but when we see his clothing, we don't see what we expect, the meter and the chasala and what you need to be a bishop. That could tell us that at this time when the cross was made Hermann was bishop already and he became bishop because the king told him to be the bishop and he got his crozier by the king but the clothing is liturgical clothes he gets by the pope so perhaps he was already invented by the king but not by the pope and that could mean that the cross already was ordered in 1036 so it's a little bit difficult to close this gap between 1036 and 1049 and that's the work of the researchers I think. Thank you.
