Escudo de cavaleiro

ca. 1450
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 380
Durante o final do período gótico, elegantes escudos de cavalaria deste tipo, chamados de targes, foram usados em justas ou faziam parte do equipamento da cavalaria ligeira na Alemanha. O brasão muito ornamentado que aparece sobre este escudo talvez seja da família Gottsmann de Francônia. A bandeirola ao lado da figura feminina ostenta o lema HAB MYCH ALS ICH BIN (Aceita-me como sou). A decoração, com cores brilhantes sobre um fundo de prata, está muito bem preservada porque ficou oculta durante séculos sob camadas posteriores de tinta. A parte de trás do escudo, forrada de couro, está pintada com uma estatueta de São Cristóvão que oferecia proteção espiritual ao seu portador.
