EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Harness Pendant. Believed to be of Spanish origin and dating back to the 13th-early 15th century, this pendant is an exquisite example of medieval craftsmanship. Created by an unknown artist, it reflects the artistic sensibilities and heraldic traditions prevalent during that time. The pendant features intricate enamelled designs in vibrant colors such as copper and gold. Its bassetaille technique adds depth and dimension to the decorative motifs, which include dogs - a symbol often associated with loyalty and protection. This suggests its potential use in military or warfare contexts. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Spain during the Middle Ages. Its presence evokes feelings of awe and curiosity about the people who wore it centuries ago. As we admire this stunning piece, we are reminded that even though its creator remains anonymous, their skill has left an indelible mark on history. The Harness Pendant serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout different periods in time. This print allows us to appreciate not only its beauty but also its historical significance as a weapon accessory or tack used for horses. It transports us back in time, connecting us with our ancestors' lives while reminding us of how art can transcend generations
