This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a "Bleeding bowl" from 15th century France. Made entirely out of pewter, this medical instrument is a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of French craftsmen during that era. The intricate design and delicate detailing on the bowl are truly remarkable. The term "bleeding bowl" refers to an ancient medical practice known as bloodletting, which was believed to balance the body's humors and promote good health. This particular artifact offers us a glimpse into the medical practices prevalent in medieval Europe. The photograph beautifully captures every curve and contour of this historical piece, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even more. The soft lighting enhances the subtle patina on the pewter surface, adding depth and texture to the image.
