萨克森选侯克里斯蒂安二世的轻剑

Hilt by Israel Schuech German
 Blade by Juan Martinez Spanish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 376

这柄剑上用复杂工艺浇铸并錾花的铜鎏金剑柄是德累斯顿铸剑师伊斯雷尔·胥赫唯一有记载的的一件作品。交织带状装饰和神话人物形象与人造宝石相搭配，其上曾有瓷釉，堪与当时风靡于萨克森宫中的绚丽金器媲美。装配在剑柄上的是来自托莱多的刀刃，这座城市因高质量的刀刃闻名，成品出口至全欧洲。这柄剑的铸造者是胡安·马丁内斯，他在自己的作品上签名为“皇家铸剑师”。
