EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Upper Leaf of Sundial, a remarkable artifact from 16th century Germany. Created by an unknown artist, this plaque was part of a folding portable sundial exclusively made in Nuremberg during the early 1500s. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this piece. Made from ivory with delicate paint and gilding, this decorative artwork represents the rich heritage art of medieval Germany. The golden hues and exquisite carving make it truly stand out among other artifacts of its time. In this close-up shot, we can appreciate the skillful depiction of children at play on the sundial's surface. Both boys and girls engage in various activities, capturing the essence of childhood joy and innocence. This portrayal not only serves as a decorative element but also conveys a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this sculpture offers us a glimpse into German culture during the Middle Ages. Its presence within such esteemed museum walls further emphasizes its historical significance. The Upper Leaf of Sundial is an invaluable testament to human creativity throughout centuries past. It reminds us that even everyday objects like sundials were once meticulously crafted works of art deserving admiration and preservation for generations to come.
