EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Parade Saddle, believed to be of German or Tyrolean origin, dating back to the 15th century. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this antique piece, which is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Created by an unknown artist, this saddle is a true testament to the rich history and heritage of Austria. Made from bone, wood, and birch bark, the saddle features exquisite carvings that depict scenes of courtship and equestrian life. Its polychrome finish adds a burst of color and charm to this remarkable artifact. The inscriptions in German further enhance its historical significance. The Parade Saddle served both military and decorative purposes during its time. It was designed for grand processions and parades where it would have been proudly displayed on horses adorned with elaborate costumes. This particular saddle offers us a glimpse into the opulent traditions of medieval Europe. As we gaze upon this close-up image, we can't help but marvel at the skillful artistry that went into creating such an extraordinary object. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the past and invites us to appreciate the beauty found within centuries-old artifacts like this one.
