IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 156464 accession number: M.118-1961 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Tuesday 5 March 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Circular, and slightly convex copper plaque, with a small circular hole at 3 and at 9 o’clock. Copper enamelled in grisaille on a black ground, and gilded. The black enamel appears brownish-red near the edges. The chiaroscuro was produced by the enlevage technique with hatching and cross-hatching in the background and on the horses. The reverse has translucent counter-enamel which appears pinkish-red from the oxydization of the copper beneath it. The enamel has blackened and shrunk away from the two holes. There are several brownish-black speckles in the counter-enamel elsewhere. The front is decorated with a battle scene. In the foreground there are two rearing horses mounted by warriors wearing Roman armour and helmets. One, on the left, carries a banner, the other, in the middle, is about to slay a nude man standing with his back to the viewer in the right foreground. Behind him is another horseman, clad only in a pleated skirt. Behind them there are fifteen men, wholly or partly visible, some of whom brandish swords. The swords and the horses’ bridles are gold. The edge is white and is encircled by a narrow gold band. The circular metal alloy mount has a toothed inner edge, and at the top has a circular ring and a loose suspension ring. object type: Circular medallion enamelled in grisaille with a battle scene and gilded title: pendant medallion NOTES ----- type: history note value: Sir Alfred Beit (1903–94); Sotheby’s, 7 October 1948, Catalogue of the celebrated collections of Hispano-Moresque, Italian majolica, bronzes and works of art, p. 4, first part of lot 24; Copper & Adams, London; Louis Colville Gray Clarke MA, Litt.
