EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Fragment of an Ornamental Crest from a Reliquary Shrine, dating back to the 12th century. Created by the renowned Mosan School, this exquisite piece is made of gilded copper with brown enamel detailing. Measuring at approximately 5.25 cm in height and 4.20 cm in width, it is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this relic highlight its significance within Christian religious practices during the medieval period.
