EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Tankard from the 17th century, crafted by the Hungarian School. Standing at a height of 17.8 cm, this parcel-gilt silver masterpiece is an exquisite example of metalwork artistry. The tankard features intricate details and ornate designs that immediately draw the viewer's attention. The cylindrical body is adorned with chased and repoussé decorations, displaying arabesques alternating with strapwork enclosing beautifully detailed cartouches. These cartouches depict various scenes including a doe in front of a castle, a stag, and a baying hound. The lid of the tankard mirrors the same level of craftsmanship as the body, boasting similar chased and repoussé decoration. It is crowned by an elegant baluster finial and includes a thumbpiece shaped like a winged female figure. Every element of this tankard exudes opulence and sophistication. From its matted ground to its meticulously designed handle in the form of a female herm, every detail has been carefully considered. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this remarkable piece. Its rich symbolism evokes images of hunting scenes and wild animals roaming freely in nature. A true testament to Hungarian artistry during this period, this tankard stands as both an impressive work of decorative silverware and an important artifact from history.
