Espadim de Christian II, eleitor de Saxônia

Sword cutler Hilt by Israel Schuech German
Bladesmith Blade by Juan Martinez Spanish
dated 1606
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 376
Este punho da espada, fundido e cortado com grande maestria, é a única obra que pode ser atribuída com certeza ao espadeiro de Dresden Israel Schuech. A decoração, originalmente esmaltada, que contém desenhos entrelaçados e figuras alegóricas, além de gemas falsas engastadas, rivaliza com as opulentas peças de joias, então na moda na corte da Saxônia. No punho foi montada uma lâmina de aço de Toledo, cidade famosa pela qualidade de suas armas brancas exportadas para toda a Europa. A lâmina foi feita por Juan Martinez, que assinava suas obras como Espadeiro do Rei.
