With gilt-copper mounts, and retaining its original leather frog covered with gold-embroidered textiles, ca, 1590, made for a high-ranking officer of the Trabanten-Leibgarde (body guard) of Christian I or II, Elector of Saxony; provenance: the Royal Saxon Collections, Dresden.
The carved representation is the standard motif found on all Saxon calivermen's flasks, the pikeman. Preserved in the Met, NY. Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 27th March 2012 at 09:11 PM. |
