Just thought that someone might find this interesting.
Italian (Venice), ca. 1490. Steel, engraved, etched, and gilded, length 36" (91.5 cm). Purchase, The Lauder Foundation Gift. 1984.73
Latin inscription in uncial lettering- "INDEOFACIEMUSVIRTUTEEDIPSEADNICHILUM/DEDUEDTRIBULANTESNOS"
Source: Notable Acquisitions (Metropolitan Museum of Art), No. 1983/1984 (1983 - 1984), pp.20-25
Very interesting and quite ornate. Does anyone have any other pictures of it?
