Copper enamelled in grisaille on a black ground, and gilded. The black enamel appears brownish-red near the edges. The chiaroscuro was produced by the enlevage technique with hatching and cross-hatching in the background and on the horses. The reverse has translucent counter-enamel which appears pinkish-red from the oxydization of the copper beneath it. The enamel has blackened and shrunk away from the two holes. There are several brownish-black speckles in the counter-enamel elsewhere. The front is decorated with a battle scene. In the foreground there are two rearing horses mounted by warriors wearing Roman armour and helmets. One, on the left, carries a banner, the other, in the middle, is about to slay a nude man standing with his back to the viewer in the right foreground. Behind him is another horseman, clad only in a pleated skirt. Behind them there are fifteen men, wholly or partly visible, some of whom brandish swords. The swords and the horses’ bridles are gold. The edge is white and is encircled by a narrow gold band. The circular metal alloy mount has a toothed inner edge, and at the top has a circular ring and a loose suspension ring. 117 reference exhibition-2376 adlib-exhibition-2376 3e2208a0-ad25-3b64-b03f-cb63aa00fd02 Treasured Possessions from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment M.118-1961 1 accession number M.118-1961 156464 priref 156464 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/156464 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/156464 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Louis.C.G.

P. Battle scenes of varying degrees of complexity occur on many small rectangular and circular grisaille plaques. The holes on either side of this roundel, may indicate that it was originally a hat badge, as battle scenes al antica were among the most popular themes for the decoration of this masculine form of jewellery. However, these usually measure between about 4 to 6 cm across, so this is on the large side and may have had another function. It was formerly attributed to an anonymous enameller who sometimes signed his work KIP, but the style is closer to a plaque of Samson killing a Phillistine in the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore (inv. no. 44.37) attributed by Pierre Verdier to Jean III Pénicaud or to an anonymous master ‘formed in the workshop of the Pénicaud’. A particularly notable point of similarity is the four-toed foot of the mounted warrior in the middle which resembles the foot of a mounted figure in the Walters’ plaque. The treatment of the rearing horses is also comparable. The iconography is reminiscent of a slightly larger medallion initialled 'MP' in the Louvre attributed by Marquet de Vasselot, and Baratte, to the anonymous Master MP. The source of the design on the Fitzwilliam’s medallion has not been found. Two of the horses might have been inspired by those on the right of one of six friezes of cavalry combats engraved c. 1543–45 by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau (c. 1520-86). reference term-125332 adlib-term-125332 76f10b5d-9bf4-36d4-b4e3-f4df05af8260 16th Century, third quarter reference term-15498 adlib-term-15498 61725bf5-360f-3837-8aab-3c90b956a537 literal France France country literal Haute Vienne Haute Vienne region Limoges reference media-136194 adlib-media-136194 ab3c3039-f101-34eb-aa06-850a4d27d6bd jpeg aa/aa20/M_118_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 653 1742591888069 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_M_118_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 582 width pixels 500 1742591888069 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_118_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 653 1742591888069 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_118_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 291 width pixels 250 1742591888069 1 image 0 media image reference media-136195 adlib-media-136195 906da112-4ce2-3c61-a358-961d9607b083 jpeg aa/aa20/M_118_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 625 1742591872510 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_M_118_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 608 width pixels 500 1742591872510 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_118_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 625 1742591872510 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_118_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 304 width pixels 250 1742591872510 1 image 1 media image reference media-3462180575 portfolio portfolio-media-3462180575 520d448b-31e7-3e65-b4f4-896798314b20 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/80/large_M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1254 width pixels 1024 1529370566000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/80/mid_M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 612 width pixels 500 1529370566000 1 image M.118-1961_1_200801_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1529370566000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/80/preview_M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 306 width pixels 250 1529370566000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/80/M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 3252 width pixels 2656 1529370566000 1 image 2 media image reference media-1535670173 portfolio portfolio-media-1535670173 4eb4283e-736f-33c8-8ce0-a4f384ef9e04 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/85/large_M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529370574000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/85/mid_M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529370574000 1 image M.118-1961_1_200801_mfj22_mas.tif 1529370574000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/85/preview_M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529370574000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/85/M_118_1961_1_200801_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4992 width pixels 3328 1529370574000 1 image 3 media image reference media-2757500127 portfolio portfolio-media-2757500127 bc771ccf-625c-3ba6-8d14-4c76a4a0f044 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/86/large_M_118_1961_2_200801_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529370574000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/86/mid_M_118_1961_2_200801_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529370574000 1 image M.118-1961_2_200801_mfj22_mas.tif 1529370574000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/86/preview_M_118_1961_2_200801_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529370574000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/86/M_118_1961_2_200801_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4992 width pixels 3328 1529370574000 1 image 4 media image reference term-125346 adlib-term-125346 7dc9034b-765c-3ac5-9c1b-17692a74cdf1 pendant medallion plaque history note Sir Alfred Beit (1903–94); Sotheby’s, 7 October 1948, Catalogue of the celebrated collections of Hispano-Moresque, Italian majolica, bronzes and works of art, p. 4, first part of lot 24; Copper & Adams, London; Louis Colville Gray Clarke MA, LL.D.(1881-1960), Leckhampton, Cambridge. reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-7751 adlib-publication-7751 cfa79c6e-ae29-31e3-85fa-3a838db1be3c Treasured Possessions from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment Cf. p.127, OA2525, a circular plaque of a battle with nude warriors and horses, dated to the mid 16th century 127 reference publication-6073 adlib-publication-6073 273632b3-da99-366e-9c3b-efd466467b8e Les émaux peints de Limoges.
