IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 71522 accession number: C.1-1967 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 18 December 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: fritware, mould made, coated in a white glaze painted in lustre. Shape: erect figure of a hawk, hollow, with feet and wings attached to a plinth base Decoration: seated figures in dotted robes and headdress, reserved on a lustered ground within a medallion, predominate over the body and plinth where they are contrasted by scrolling vegetation painted in lustre. These seated figures in medallions number seven examples on the head, all of roughly equal size; three examples on the chest comprising one large central medallion and two flanking smaller versions; and one large example on the plinth. These seated figure medallions are also painted on the back of the wings where they are interspersed with other medallions containing reserved figures including a mounted horseman or birds. Between the wings and on the front of the legs further seated figures are depicted in reserve but not in medallions. On the underside of the wings running animals, reserved in lustre flank central panels of scrolling vegetation painted in lustre. Finally two eyes and the beak are moulded and painted with lustre. Glaze runs over the edges of the plinth unevenly leaving small but visible sections uncovered. object type: fritware coated in white glaze painted in lustre title: figurine LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Barlow collection creditline: Given by Sir Alan and Lady Barlow STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/71522 SUBJECTS ------------------- hawk hawk TECHNIQUES ---------- fritware, mould made, coated in a white glaze painted in lustre moulding TECHNIQUES ---------- painting overglaze TECHNIQUES ---------- glazing (coating) CATEGORIES ------ category: fritware (stonepaste) DATING ------ creation date: 1179 - 1198 creation date earliest: 1179 creation date latest: 1198 culture: 12th Century, Late CREATORS -------- maker: Unknown DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: cm value: 47 dimension: Length units: cm value: 26.5 dimension: Weight units: g value: 3105 dimension: Width units: cm value: 25 EXHIBITIONS HISTORY ------------------- title: Court and Cosmos.
