The elevatio animae group of Margaret of Brabant is one of the most famous medieval sculptures. It was commissioned from Giovanni Pisano, the most important sculptor of the time, by Emperor Henry VII as a tribute to his beloved wife Margaret of Brabant who died in Genoa at the age of 36 on the night of 13 December 1311. The funeral monument was erected in the church of San Francesco di Castelletto and placed in the apsis. Later, at the end of the 16th century (before 1602), it was dismembered and reused in the chapel of San Francesco in the same church. With the demolition of the sacred building in the early 19th century, the group was transferred by the Brignole Sale family to Villa Duchessa di Galliera in Voltri, where it remained until the 1870s, when it was rediscovered by Santo Varni.

Carolina Orsini: “Chronological attribution is difficult due to the persistence of the morphological typology of the phase 6 complex jar until the late horizon. However, the decorations and textile designs seem to indicate belonging to the final phases of the Ica and Chincha cultures (1440- ica 8 - onward).” Vase with a convex bottom. The lower part of the chamber is painted orange, while the upper part is decorated with painted horizontal bands: one red, one with large black discs on a cream ground, one black, one with a zigzag pattern in cream on a red and orange ground, another black, another with black discs on a cream ground, and one red. The horizontal bands are alternated with two vertical bands painted in cream, red, and black discs on a cream ground. The inverted truncated neck has an everted rim decorated with bands painted in black and cream. The inside of the rim is painted orange with a black line.
