GERMANY. Nuremberg. Renaissance Plaque by, or in the Style of Hans Petzoldt (1551-1633), ca. 16th-17th Century.
155 mm. cf.Weber-561. A column of mounted and foot soldiers follow a trail down from a city on a hillside. The main figure is a woman riding sidesaddle and receiving attention from the soldiers around her, while a pair of strategists plan on a table before her. As Weber-561 but with the addition of the decorative floral border of Weber-562. This design is variously described as representing Anthony and Cleopatra, Zenobia and Aurelian, or more generically, the liberation of a city in Transylvania. A very old aftercast, perhaps from a worn original, with attractive overall chocolate coloration, which darkens a bit in the recesses. There is one open hole at about 1 O'Clock for mounting, and 5 others evenly spaced around the floral border, which were opened in the original, but closed in this recast. Additionally there is a small piercing at 12 O'Clock, now apparently plugged. An attractive and attention-getting plaque. VERY FINE.
