How does this artwork elucidate its Location?
The Inkpot Madonna was originally located in the chapter house of the Hildesheim cathedral chapter. Later it was moved to the church on the southwestern pillar of the crossing of the cathedral, as the most prominent image of the Mother of God in the cathedral.In 2010 the sculpture was moved to the Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum Hannover, while the cathedral was being renovated. From October 2012 it was restored in the workshop of the Klosterkammer Hannover by Roksana Jachim. Investigation with computer tomography revealed problems with the wood and the coats of paint. After the restoration of both the sculpture and the cathedral, the sculpture was returned on 15 August 2014 to a prominent location in the cathedral, on the opposite pillar of the crossing.
