    Description

    Exceptional Rondache (or shield), iron pushed back and chiseled in round-bump, edge hemmed and studded, with allegorical decoration. Its diameter is 60 cm. Approximately. It is engraved on its entire exterior. The central motif depicts two Roman horsemen and infantrymen having a shameful flight in front of a group of young women who look particularly provocative (dresses raised, they expose their intimacy in very affected poses...). On the right and in the background, a walled city, on the left two duellists clash (it is interesting to note that the antagonists are both left-handed). The flat 7 cm wide. forming the border is made up of eight engraved cartridges: they are adorned for four of them with trophies with armour, bows, quiver, swords, drums, trumpets and flags (attributes of war), two others of a armed with a spear crushing a dragon and a hercule his club in hand, the last two depicting a languid woman down and an old woman , while the whole is Leda and the swan. The great finesse of the engraving, the work of iron in round-bump with a line reprise, the realism of the subject make it possible to situate this roundache as having been manufactured in northern Italy during the second part of the 16th century, around 1570. It can be compared to a similar piece that belonged to King Charles V from the Spitzer collection (No. 368 and 373), and another presented at the Army Museum under the reference Pls XLIII and XLIV. It is innerly trimmed with purple velvet (old, but not original) and one of the two handles (the handles were originally attached to a double iron blade held by four large screws visible on the outer side). Dimensions: 58.2 cm. Very beautiful in diameter state of preservation and period. Rare and high-quality piece.
