EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mirror case dating back to the 14th century, depicting a game of chess. Crafted from ivory by the French School, this intricate piece measures approximately 11.5 cm in diameter and is currently housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The relief carving on this mirror case transports us back to medieval times, where courtly scenes were highly revered. The attention to detail is remarkable as it captures two players engrossed in their strategic battle on a beautifully carved chessboard. The delicately carved figures exude elegance and grace, reflecting the artistic mastery of the Gothic period. While one player is portrayed as a courtier with refined features and attire befitting his noble status, the other figure represents a female counterpart engaged in this intellectual pursuit. This depiction challenges traditional gender roles prevalent during that era and highlights women's involvement in recreational activities beyond societal expectations. The mirror case itself serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Its exquisite craftsmanship not only provides an elegant accessory for personal grooming but also acts as a symbol of wealth and sophistication among the elite class. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills, we can now admire this historical treasure up close while appreciating its cultural significance within medieval society.
