499699 Enamel Plaque from the Altar Frontal of Saint Martin at Orense (Spain), 1174-1213 (probably before 1188) (engraved, stippled, gilded copper, champlev矇 enamel) by French School, (12th century); 13.7x8.9 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: This almond-shaped enamel plaque depicts the half-length figure of an angel inscribed in a medallion. A nearly identical plaque in the cathedral treasury of St. Martin at Orense in Galicia (Northern Spain) suggests that this plaque once formed part of a large altar frontal commissioned by Bishop Alfonso of Orense (reigned 1174-1213). Fifty-three enamelled plaques of this important ensemble are still preserved at the Cathedral of Orense. Others, including this one, were possibly removed during the Napoleonic era.); Gift of Kelvin Smith; French, out of copyright.
