Pommel Plate. Culture: German, Augsburg. Dimensions: 8 1/2 x 9 3/8 in. (21.7 x 23.7 cm), Wt. 11 oz. (326 g). Date: ca. 1560-70.The etched decoration of this pommel plate, consisting of interlaced strapwork enclosing heraldically displayed eagles, is very similar to that on an armor in the Hofjagd- und Rüstkammer, Vienna, which was made in Augsburg in 1563 for Archduke Karl of Styria (1540-1590), the youngest son of Emperor Ferdinand I. Although the Museum's plate differs from the Vienna armor in small but significant details, it seems likely that it, too, was an imperial commission and was etched in the same Augsburg workshop. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
