King Clothar II and an Attendant

French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 305

This elegant late Gothic relief of Clothar II (d. 629), Merovingian king of the Franks, is part of a scene from a dismantled retable, still in the church of Recloses, in which he receives two gold saddles from the reknowned goldsmith Saint EIoi, or Eligius.
