Vaso con simios

Países Bajos meridionales, probablemente territorios borgoñones

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14

Este vaso es una de las más bellas piezas de esmalte medieval creadas para una mesa principesca. Su tema es una leyenda popular sobre la necedad humana. Una banda de simios roba a un buhonero dormido. El hombre, que aparece en posición yacente encima de la base, continúa durmiendo mientras los simios le quitan la ropa. Otros simios saltan de rama en rama con las prendas robadas. Existen varios objetos esmaltados con esta singular técnica de grisalla, y todos ellos están vinculados a la corte de los duques de Borgoña.
