EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Almond-Shaped Seal titled "Coronation of the Virgin with a Kneeling Monk". Created between the 14th century, it is believed to be either from the English or German School. Crafted from gilded bronze, this small yet intricate piece measures approximately 3.85 cm in diameter and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Once used as molds for making wax impressions, these seals held great significance in monasteries. They were pressed onto letters, charters, and other documents to provide proof of authenticity. The Latin inscription on this seal comes from Proverbs 1:8 and translates to "Listen my son to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching". The image depicts the coronation of the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven, with a kneeling monk paying homage beside her. The relief work beautifully captures their delicate features and expressions. This stunning artwork combines elements such as female power, religious symbolism, metalwork craftsmanship, and medieval aesthetics. Gifted by Mrs. Herbert F. Leisy in honor of William Mathewson Milliken to the Cleveland Museum of Art, this print offers viewers a glimpse into centuries-old artistic traditions that continue to inspire awe today. Its timeless beauty serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and the enduring impact art has on our lives.
