Limoges, vers 1200 - 1210
This Limoges enamel work exemplifies the exceptional metalwork production that made the French city renowned throughout medieval Europe during the early 13th century. The piece showcases the characteristic techniques of champlevé enamel, where colored glass is fused into recessed areas of a copper base and often embellished with gilding and engraving. Such liturgical objects were highly prized by the Church and nobility, reflecting both the technical sophistication and artistic prestige of Limoges workshops during this period.
