Two fine horseman's hammers, Germany, mid 16th century.
Please note the punched wavy snake-like ornamentation which, together with the characteristic three dots, accounts for the dating of the first item. The etched and gilt hunting scenes of the hammer in the V&A museum London allows for dating it "ca. 1530-50". Best, m |
