Description
Recent research has revealed that this plaquette—long characterized as an Italian object from the 1500s—is indeed by the hand of a 19th-century silversmith working in Vienna. The subject of the Renaissance-style object also cannot be precisely identified, although it was long associated with the beheading of Saint Paul.- Dr. Jacob Hirsch (New York, New York)Bank Leu (Zurich, Switzerland)Mrs. Chester D. Tripp, by gift to the Cleveland Museum of Art, 1970.
